Not-for-profit organizations often produce running events as convention activities, fund-raisers, or public awareness events. Association Executive Management trains organization staff and volunteers in race management, sponsorship, fund-raising, course logistics, volunteer recruitment, and other skills essential to a successful event.

Training is provided by David M. Patt, CAE, President of AEM, who has conducted race director trainings for individuals and associations for nearly twenty years, as Executive Director of the Association of Running Event Directors and as CEO of Chicago Area Runners Association.
