BROOKE THOMPSON

VOLUNTEER & PROGRAMMING MANAGER

Brooke oversees the volunteer program and works with community partners to manage our youth summer camps, actively aging senior outdoor activities, and outreach events. Whatever she can do to make sure things are running smoothly and to assist the team is her specialty! During event week, Brooke meets with all the volunteers and gets them trained, fed, and ready to rock their roles.

Favorite thing about GOAL – My favorite thing about GOAL is the community—we have the best! Whether it be locals who live their lives here daily or people who are only a part of it for a day, I feel lucky to be here.

Favorite Memory – My favorite memory was the first time we volunteered for the Ogden Marathon. My husband and I were tasked with delivering 1000 boxed lunches to all the volunteers west of the canyon. We met Clairesse at the GOAL office to go over instructions and give us supplies. She found a bucket with some lights and figured it was to go on top of our car to gain access through traffic. Come to find out, the light was just left over from a night run they had done the summer before. We did not need it at all, but man, did we feel special with our flashing light!

How do you Get Out And LIVE – Brooke loves to cook and check out all the local spots. She also loves to camp, hike, and go on whatever adventure her sister can talk her into. Brooke is a collector of rocks, camels (not the real kind!) and plants. Collecting these things involves lots of outings (hopefully with good company in tow) to markets, yard sales and different parts of the country.

CECILY KISS

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT MANAGER

Cecily helps coordinate and support our ambassador programs, sponsors, vendors, social media and much more to ensure our events run smoothly and we are connected and engaged within the community. On race day you can find her supporting our sponsors and vendors as well as making sure everyone is having a great time at the Finish Line Festival!

Favorite thing about GOAL – My favorite thing about GOAL is the community effort to fulfill GOAL’s mission and vision. Whether it’s staff, volunteers, participants, sponsors or partners, everyone plays their part to help reach the finish line and everyone has fun doing so! It’s so easy to feel the passion and drive from the community working on this team, it’s incredible!

Favorite Memory – My favorite memory is being thrown into a WRS 5K event on my fourth day with GOAL. Seeing members of our community reach their goals with smiles on their faces, all the volunteers and sponsors helping coordinate a successful event, everyone cheering at the finish line, there is really no other feeling like it and I am so happy to be a part of such an amazing organization that brings joy to people’s lives through fun and fitness.

How do you Get Out And LIVE – Cecily loves to eat, so whether you find her camping, on the trail, at a local restaurant, in the park or traveling, there’s a solid chance she has snacks with her. When she’s not out and about you can find her cooking or baking in her kitchen, spending time with her family, doing yoga, checking out all things spooky or reading a book.
