TOPEKA, Kan. (August 10, 2016) – Lisa Noble has resigned as President and CEO of the ҹ51xxtv to pursue other challenges, the ҹ51xxtv Board of Directors announced today.
Noble had previously served on the Board of Directors, including as Chairman of the Board, for six years before transitioning to the President’s role in October of 2013. An ҹ51xxtv member since a teenager, Noble will continue to compete in the Club’s road racing and U.S. Majors Tour program in her Formula Vee.
Hired as an agent of change, under Noble’s watch, the ҹ51xxtv saw a resurgence in membership and launched a series of experiential initiatives to introduce new participants to motorsports, including the Tire Rack Starting Line autocross school and Track Night in America driven by Tire Rack. A rebranding of National road racing, the U.S. Majors Tour, also evolved under her leadership.
“While the Board and I had philosophical differences, I know the Club is now positioned for growth and have confidence that the staff and Board will keep our programs alive and well,” Noble said. “ҹ51xxtv will forever be a part of my life and I will contribute in every way I can to the success of our Club.”
“We want to sincerely thank Lisa for the time and energy she has put into the ҹ51xxtv, first as a member, and then with the Board of Directors, and finally piloting the staff as President,” John Walsh, Chairman of the ҹ51xxtv Board of Directors, said. “We look forward to seeing her at the race track again as a friend, Club member and competitor.”
A nation-wide search for the next ҹ51xxtv President and CEO will begin immediately. There is no hard deadline set for the hire.
