Amanda Kraus took over as CEO of USRowing in November 2020, leading the national governing body at a time of challenges across the sports-event industry. But her background is expected to help her on a number of fronts, including adding much needed diversity to the ranks of participants and the chance to fundraise for any number of projects. Before taking the helm, Kraus founded and led the nonprofit Row New York, which provided opportunities to row for those who previously didn’t have access to the sport. In this conversation with SportsTravel Editor and Publisher Jason Gewirtz, Kraus outlines her goals for the organization, her interest in USRowing, the balance between supporting the national teams and growing membership, and the outlook for the Olympic Games and the NGB’s events in 2021.

This week's Dropcast is all about giving back. Hosts Jian DeLeon and Noah Thomas are joined by Jack Carlson, published author, actual rower, and founder of Rowing Blazers, to talk about his recent charitable collaboration with Noah clothing and Row New York. Also joining them is Ball Boyz co-host Ian Servantes—who apparently had nothing better to do. Jack talks about the best part of the collaboration—helping out underserved kids in the five boroughs of New York City. The collab is donating a portion of sales to help out Row New York, a nonprofit organization that makes the elite sport of rowing more inclusive and accessible to students from all walks of life—and goes as far as helping them get into college. We also asked Dropcast listeners to weigh in with a confession: What's the most you've ever spent on a jacket? Now that it's finally outerwear season in the Big Apple, we were expecting to hear a ton of voicemails flexing on us—and we were right. And for a chance to hear your voicemails on The Dropcast, call our hotline at 833-HIGHSNOB (833-444-4766).
