The World Curling president is seeking a second term at the head of the FI and will learn his fate September 6th during the Annual General MeetingThe American faces an opponent: the Australian Hugh Millikin, who presents over 50 years of commitment to curling as an athlete and leader.
Millikin chaired Curling Australia from 2012 to 2014. He oversaw the organization of the World Curling Congress in Queensland last year and has previously been involved with the organization as a vice-chair and executive committee member. In his cover letter, he primarily emphasizes the economic viability of World Curling and on improving its financial and commercial health.
