Pat has worked tirelessly making contributions to the NOTC that have been in direct support of the community of runners and walkers the NOTC serves as well as instituting efficiencies that have saved the organization thousands of dollars in race costs. Pat has been instrumental in organizing and reusing the left over d-tags used for electronic scoring at the races. These tags are very costly and reusing them saves the NOTC as much as several hundred dollars per race. Pat spends several hours each month at the NOTC office after races organizing unused, leftover d-tags as well as preparing bibs for the upcoming races by attaching d-tags, labels and organizing folders for packet pick-up. She has done this for every race for nearly four years.

Pat believes that everyone in our community should feel comfortable and motivated to join in our events. She believes that all should feel welcome at our events no matter what their abilities. Being a competitive race walker, she began the process of USATF official's certification in 2014 and met all requirements and passed the test for certification as USATF Association Level Racewalking Judge in 2016. Pat is also an RRCA Level 1 Certified Running Coach. Since that time she has officiated at many USATF Southern Association track meets, local races and other area events. She fosters walking in our community as a fitness alternative to running. She encourages walkers by promoting race walking as a walking goal to encourage walkers to be the best they can be. Pat hosts a minimum of two race walking clinics per year and regularly meets one on one with individuals who want race walking lessons or coaching.
