ARC Organization

The Air Race Classic Board of Directors is a diverse group of volunteers who work year round to plan and organize each year's race. Each board member donates personal energy, time and resources to continue and enhance the traditions of the Air Race Classic. They cover all their own expenses related to the race and any associated meetings.


Members of the ARC Board are bound by a Code of Conduct and a B-10d Code of Ethics. These codes dictate the behavior expected of Board members as they interact with other members of the Board and with those outside the organization, and set out principles to mitigate conflicts of interest when Board members are racing or serving as race officials. Board member adherence to these codes is taken very seriously, and a member can be removed for non-compliance.


The Board is composed of 11 directors plus assistant directors, with support from past presidents, former directors and a host of volunteers across the country. New members are invited to join the board based on the needs of the organization.
