“USBC will be moving forward and embracing change as we strive toward our vision of being the leading authority servicing the needs of bowling as a more effective governing body. The strategy and decisions ahead will be driven by a focus to protect and nurture our sport, so bowling has a vibrant future with more people inspired to participate.”
