hmmm...Hightower named chair of IAAF Conflict Resolution Advisory Group

Well, she sure does know a lot about conflict!

The resolution part might be a challenge though......

Any one want to venture a guess on what the IAAF Conflict Resolution Advisory Group will be tasked to do and an example of two or three of those things?

Hightower and Segal come up way short in the integrity field. I wouldn't put her in any position of importance. But who am I?

And Henry Kissinger won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Is Max Siegel also a IAAF delegate or does he head the Commercial Marketing Advisory Group as a non-delegate advisor from a member nation?

The irony of this is incredible!

There is no way anyone will ever have a straight face when addressing her and her committee.

And anyone from USATF? There are more conflicts created by the national office and the president than anyone else.

Ironic. Ha ha ha ha....

Protect Coe, Radcliffe and Wejo.

I looked but couldn't find any information on what the charge would be for the various committees. We can only speculate from the names, I guess.

Coe was one of my running hero growing. His tone deaf approach to pretty much everything running related these days is so disappointing.

He is either the most ineffective, naive, leader ever, or so caught up in cronyism that he doesn't care the fallout.

Sad really.

OK say there is a 100,000 bribe and 11 people want 10000 of it. The conflict Group gives each 11 delegates 5000 and keeps 45000 for themselves conflict resolved.

Have people been following other countries federations at all. Hightower and company suck but compared to most governing bodies what usatf does is small peanuts.

And yes she knows about conflict resolution. When a conflict arises manipulate or change rules and broker back room deals so you get your way. She'll do just fine at iaff.

Obviously. And we know that he is neither ineffective nor naive, proven by his career during the last decades.
