Committees

USA Triathlon gets much of its work done through the efforts of many dedicated volunteers. Volunteers help put on events and training programs and carry out national and regional tasks. Committees have been formed to advise the USA Triathlon Board of Directors and work with the National Office and other members to promote and improve participation in multisport training and events.
