So much of the work that keeps RUSA running - from awards to results processing to Permanents to our American Randonneur magazine, and much more - is handled by volunteers on RUSA committees. Many of these volunteers have served long tenures on multiple committees.
The listings below were compiled from the committees' current makeup, plus info in American Randonneur, and recollections from those who've been around a while.
You can help -- If there's anyone we've missed or extra details you can supply, such as years of tenure, let us know by contacting us.
