  • Reflections: How Notre Dame Law School Molds Leaders of Global Diversity
    REFLECTIONS: HOW NOTRE DAME LAW SCHOOL MOLDS LEADERS OF GLOBAL DIVERSITY Max Siegel* The World Athletics Championships are coming to the United States for the first time in July of 2022. The event will showcase 2000 of the greatest athletes on the planet, representing over 200 countries in the ultimate track- and-field experience. As the Chief Executive Officer of USA Track & Field, the national governing body for the sport of track and field, I am responsible for overseeing the professionals who will deliver flawless execution of the event, field the number one team in the world, and engage the global community in an inspiring competition that has long-lasting cultural impact. The positioning of the United States as a potential host for this event began with my first assignment as the CEO in July of 2012. World Athletics (formerly known as the International Amateur Athletic Federation) was founded in 1912 by seventeen national athletic federations, including the USA, which saw the need for a global governing authority. In the summer of 2012, I was sent to our world headquarters in Monaco to represent the United States at the 100-year anniversary celebration of the international-federation founding. Upon landing in Nice, France, I was whisked away by my hosts and put in a helicopter for a short ride to Monaco, then escorted to the motorcade that would take me to the event hosted at the royal palace by our sports chair, © 2021 Max Siegel.

  • Max Siegel Named CEO of USA Track & Field
    Max Siegel Named CEO of USA Track & Field INDIANAPOLIS – USA Track & Field’s board of directors has selected Max Siegel to serve as CEO, President and Chair Stephanie Hightower announced Monday. The board voted unanimously to hire Siegel after two CEO searches that took place over the course of 16 months. He will become the fourth CEO in the organization’s history when he assumes his duties on May 1 as part of a two-year contract. Chief Operating Officer Mike McNees had served as interim CEO since September, 2010. “The search for our next CEO was a process that we believe will fundamentally change USA Track & Field,” Hightower said. “It forced our board to put into focus what our greatest needs and priorities are. And in the end, it brought us an executive in Max Siegel who blends a knowledge of our sport and its political considerations with an impressive record of success in the broader sports and entertainment markets.” “I am honored by the opportunity to serve as USA Track & Field’s CEO,” Siegel said. “Since I first got involved with USATF in 2009, I have been passionate about the potential for financial growth and mainstream cultural visibility. “This sport has it all: charismatic stars, great stories, unmatched diversity, grassroots participation in the tens of millions, a multi-billion-dollar sporting-goods industry, and a passionate base. Connecting those dots is what the board, our staff and volunteers will work together to achieve.” Working in various executive capacities in the sports and entertainment fields over the last 20 years, Siegel’s track record has consistently been that of financial growth and competitive success.
