USBC Board Announces Contract Extention
By Terry Bigham
ARLINGTON, Texas –
Chad Murphy has agreed to a three-year contract extension to continue as
Executive Director of the United States Bowling Congress (USBC). The agreement extends Murphy’s

Reporting to the USBC Board of Directors, the Executive Director serves as an officer of the corpora-
tion and has overall operational responsibility for staff, programs, finance, and execution of the strategic
plan.
“This last three years, really the last seven, went by fast, and it’s been incredibly rewarding working
alongside our staff here at USBC and IBC Youth,” Murphy said. “It’s been an honor and a privilege. I’m
looking forward to working even closer with our board, our association leaders, the members, as well as
all our certified centers over the next three years, building a better USBC we can all be proud of and a
brighter future for our sport.”
During Murphy’s tenure, in collaboration with industry partners and association leaders, USBC has
delivered major new initiatives including:
Relaunch of the PWBA Tour
Relaunch of the U.S. Open and and U.S. Women’s Open
Successful rebrand of the organization – #AFutureForTheSport
23-event CBS Sports Network television package

USBC Association Resource Center housed at
BOWL.com

Gold medals for Team USA in the World Championships,

“Over the past three years, the USBC staff has delivered
consistent improvement in operational execution and
customer service under Chad Murphy’s leadership,” USBC
President Frank Wilkinson said. “The USBC Board of
Directors has great confidence in the staff and this agree-
ment shows our desire to maintain stability in our leader-
ship for years to come.”
Murphy first joined the International Bowling Campus
(IBC) in 2010 as Director of Youth for the Bowling Proprie-
tors’ Association of America (BPAA). He became IBC
Director of Youth Development in 2011, at which time he
assumed management of USBC youth programs as well.
He is a former Team USA member and his playing hon-
ors include a silver medal at the 1998 World Tenpin Team
Cup in Amsterdam. He also was part of the Ebonite Nitro/
R's team that won two Grand Championships at the
Brunswick World Team Challenge Series in 1994 and
1996.
