ADVISORY COUNCIL

Athletic Republic has an Advisory Council comprised of training center owner/operators from our network, who assist the Headquarters team in gaining insight into critical issues facing the frontlines of the training center network, prioritize key business initiatives, set the agenda and lead Training Center Conference sessions, and serve as a trusted resource for resolving issues and conflicts as they arise.

The Advisory Council members are expected to connect with other training centers in their region, act as mentors to new operators, participate in 4-5 council phone conferences, attend the Training Center Conference and make themselves available for informal discussion throughout each year of service.
