Photos: RIDC’s Find Your Path Career Summit 2024

The photos are here! The Charlotte community, along with a few out-of-town guests, showed up, showed out, and looked good at our first Running Industry Career Summit celebrating Juneteenth. With over 100 attendees, it was a success!

Thanks so much to Charlotte Running Company for helping us make this event a success! Our guests began the day with the “For the Girls 5K Walk/Run.” Following that, we hosted an engaging panel discussion where our panelists shared their experiences entering and working in the running industry, overcoming barriers, and how they established their careers.

Snaps and claps to our panel:

🥇Richard Issa Bockari, Field Team Representative, Salomon
🥇Harry Chandler, Co-Owner of Charlotte Running Co.
🥇Ashley Dyson, Diversity & Inclusion Manager, ASICS
🥇 Kiera Smalls, Executive Director, RIDC
🥇 Emily Glenn, Graphic Designer, Feetures

Shout out to our event volunteers; y'all are the real MVPs. 

Thank you to our sponsors: HOKA, Feetures, New Balance, Salomon, OS1st, GU, On, Superfeet, ASICS, and Around the Crown 10K. We'll have more recaps to come!
