Central Cross Country Skiing (CXC)

Central Cross Country Skiing (CXC) is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors elected by the Association's Voting Members. The Board provides organizational oversight, establishes governing policies, and helps guide CXC's long-term strategic direction.

Based in Madison, Wisconsin, CXC's Executive Director and full-time staff manage the organization's day-to-day operations. They are supported by volunteer Operational Committees, whose members bring expertise and regional representation to specific areas of CXC's work. These committees help guide programs, make decisions, and develop operational policies within their areas of responsibility.
