Why we exist
Our organization creates a worldwide connected community for gay and lesbian rowers, coxies, coaches, and race officials. As an individual membership organization, we don’t have any chapters or clubs. Our members participate in all aspects of the rowing community through their respective rowing clubs and associations.
