Yesterday afternoon CrossFit announced the 18 members of the newly created CrossFit Athlete Council… also known as the CAC. The members were elected by their peers to “represent the voice of the community.”
The CAC is divided into three committees. Here are the members of each:
Individuals and Coaches
Olivia Grimsland
Spencer Panchik
Taylor Self
Colten Mertens
Ryan Dickey
Yazmin Arroyo
Affiliate Owners and Team Athletes
Andrew McLaughlin
Gio Benitez
Matthew Young
Justin Rementer
Mahmoud Elzayat
Harry Jager
Divisional Athletes
Karli Demonico
Rebecca Voigt Miller
Nathan Black
Jason Grubb
Tim Murray
John Kim
Elected members will serve on the CAC for two years. However, half of this first council will only serve one in an effort to engage as many community members as possible during this first cycle.
Key Responsibilities
The elected committee members will have the following responsibilities:
- Proactively engage with athletes and constituents from their group to gather feedback and be able to effectively represent their needs and desires.
- Work with CrossFit HQ to share feedback and discuss issues relevant to sport.
- Help communicate the outcome of these discussions to their representative cohorts.
- Schedule meeting cadence and facilitate meeting agendas.
- Manage committee member representation going forward.
