USA Swimming Announces Chrissi Rawak Will Not Become President and CEO<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nine days after USA Swimming made the announcement<\/a> that\u00a0Chrissi Rawak<\/strong> would take over the organization as its new President and CEO, the organization has reversed course. An announcement sent late Friday evening revealed that Rawak, currently the Athletic Director at the University of Delaware, would not join the national governing body due to “unforeseen personal circumstances.”<\/p>\n

Rawak had been due to take over for\u00a0Tim Hinchey<\/strong>, who resigned last summer after seven years helming the organization<\/a>.\u00a0Shana Ferguson<\/strong>, the chief operating officer at USA Swimming, has served as interim CEO and will continue in that role for the time being.<\/p>\n

The full announcement from USA Swimming is posted below:<\/p>\n

“USA Swimming today announced that, due to unforeseen personal circumstances that we learned about late this week, Chrissi Rawak<\/strong> will not assume the role of President and CEO. Shana Ferguson<\/strong> remains in place as Interim CEO.<\/p>\n

“While this outcome is not what we expected or hoped for, we maintain the utmost confidence in the strength of our organization, leadership team, staff, and strategic direction. The Board and leadership team of USA Swimming are working closely together to continue advancing the organization\u2019s priorities including our search for the next National Team Managing Director where we are making very good progress.<\/p>\n

“We remain fully committed to supporting our members and athletes as we prepare for the World Aquatics Championships this summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
