USA Triathlon Announces New Board of Directors Chair, Other Leadership Moves
Henry Brandon has been elected as USA Triathlon’s Board of Directors Chair, replacing Joel Rosinbum and becoming the first African American to serve in the role. Rosinbum, the first paratriathlete to serve in the role, had served as Board Chair since 2021. Dylan Sorenson was elected Vice Chair.
“Congratulations to Henry Brandon on his election as Chair of the USA Triathlon Board of Directors and to Dylan Sorensen as Vice Chair. Both bring a wealth of leadership, experience, and passion for our sport, and I am excited to work alongside them as we continue to grow and strengthen triathlon in the U.S.,” said Victoria Brumfield, USA Triathlon CEO. “Their dedication to our mission will undoubtedly help us expand opportunities for athletes of all backgrounds and skill levels. I also want to extend my gratitude to Joel Rosinbum for his leadership and service — his impact on our organization has been truly inspiring.”
Brandon’s background in non-profits is extensive. He either currently serves or has served in the following roles: the Advocates Foundation and the APGA Tour, where he served as founding vice president as well as a founding board member; National Advisory Board Haas Center for Public Service; The Fulfillment Fund; The Riordan Programs; Sound Body Sound Mind; The Friends of Expo Center; World Golf Foundation Diversity Task Force; Arthur Ashe Safe Passage; and the Inglewood Baseball Fund.
Brandon has been on USA Triathlon’s Board of Directors since 2019. In a statement, he said, “I am forever grateful to have been elected as Chairman of the USA Triathlon Board of Directors. I am passionate about the sport of triathlon and feel very privileged to be in the position to meaningfully contribute to its mission and future success, particularly as we look to the 2028 Games in LA. Being Chair of this program has never been about one person, and it never will be. I look forward to working with our talented team and our racing community as we better understand how we can be successful on this journey, it’s going to take a united effort, and we’re going to have to do this as a team. That’s why doing it at the USAT is so special.
In addition to the changes on the Board of Directors, USA Triathlon’s Chief Sport Development Officer Tim Yount has a new role. He has been appointed to World Triathlon’s Age-Group Commission, which provides support for age-group athlete needs and their national federations, all in the interest of improving athlete experience.
