Randall Joins NSAA as Executive Director

The Nordic Skiing Association of Anchorage’s (NSAA) board of directors is excited to announce the hiring of Kikkan Randall, one of America’s most successful Nordic skiers, as its new Executive Director. Randall is an Alaska sports legend who grew up in Anchorage and whose love for Nordic skiing was ignited as a child in NSAA’s popular Junior Nordics program.

Randall comes to NSAA with a foundation of leadership, business administration, nonprofit management, and community and volunteer engagement experience, bringing along her signature enthusiasm and energy to the new position. Randall has a unique personal connection to NSAA, its programs and events, and Anchorage’s world-class trail system, which NSAA helps maintain year-round.

Randall’s hiring continues the positive momentum for NSAA, which has led two critical ski seasons in which it provided safe and healthy outdoor recreation, racing, events and programs for Southcentral residents, all Alaskans, and Anchorage visitors, even at the height of the COVID pandemic. The organization expects Randall to elevate its events and programs offerings, strengthen relationships with community partners, sponsors, and advocates, and continue the club’s already outstanding outreach with NSAA’s members and passionate volunteers.
