Charlene Brinkman
Class of 2014
Charlene was not going to let her husband Don have all the fun. Of course, not only did Charlene have fun, first as a runner at NOTC events throughout the 1980s, but she turned into one of the hardest working volunteers and board members the club has known. Or, as she would tell you today, she became NOTC family. After volunteering for a decade, she was appointed to the board in 1995 as the race results coordinator. As an elected board member in the many years to follow, she served in roles such as race day registration, Footprints editor, team coordinator, nomination committee chair, secretary, vice president and served as president in 2002 through 2004. She currently serves as Volunteer and Membership Coordinator, not only making runners and walkers feel a part of our community, but she has organized the volunteer system to function seamlessly. Her efforts have led to the largest pool of dedicated volunteers in club history. Today, that NOTC family atmosphere is thriving because of Charlene.
