Athletes’ Advisory Council

The USA Curling Athlete Advisory Council (AAC) serves as the representative group and voice of USA Curling athletes. The AAC is responsible for broadening communication between USA Curling and its active athletes and serves as a source of input and advice to the USA Curling Board of Directors. The AAC is made up of 9 athlete representatives from men's, women's, mixed doubles, and wheelchair curling, who are elected by their peers.

Athletes hold a meaningful share of decision-making power within USA Curling. Athlete representatives make up one third of the Board of Directors, are represented on USA Curling's committees, and hold votes at the annual members meeting. This ensures athletes have a direct voice in the policies, programs, and decisions that shape our sport.
