PARK CITY, Utah — Calum Clark, who has worked as a senior World Cup event manager for the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association since 2004, has been named USSA's new vice president, events, according to USSA President and CEO Bill Marolt.
    Clark will be responsible for management of about 20 major international events in the USA including World Cups, U.S. championships, Chevrolet U.S. Snowboard Grand Prix and other Continental Cup-level competitions, overseeing about a $5 million budget.
    "Calum has shown great leadership in his tenure with USSA producing great events that benefited all of our stakeholders," said Marolt. "He is a strong leader with the ability to collaborate well with teammates and colleagues to produce world-class events. We're excited to promote him to our management team."
    Clark came to USSA in 2004 after working in a variety of events-related positions including both the 2000 Sydney and 2002 Salt Lake City Olympic Games. He has a strong background in sport, competing as an alpine athlete, as a coach and as executive director of a regional ski association in his native Australia. During the 2002 Olympics, he worked as a senior venue manager at Snowbasin, working with alpine downhill and super G events.
    "This is an amazing opportunity for me professionally and a great honor to be able to represent USSA and the great athletes in our program," said Clark. "Partnership is a key element of our event success, and USSA has some outstanding event partners. I'm looking forward to growing these relationships to take our events to the next level."
    Clark recently left for a senior sport management opportunity with the Vancouver Olympic Organizing Committee, but returned to USSA when this new opportunity became available. "I've had some hard decisions to make recently, but I'm excited to be staying with the USSA team," said Clark, a former ski racer who started in event work as a part-time college job in Australia.
    Clark will start his new position in June. He and wife, Maikella, have a young son, Finley, and will live in Park City.
    He replaces longtime Vice President Annette Royle, who is leaving USSA in June to become president of the Utah chapter of a national charitable organization.
