The USA Curling Recognition Committee and the Board of Directors are pleased to announce that Rich Lepping will be inducted into the Hall of Fame of the sport’s National Governing Body. Lepping has served the sport and USA Curling in many capacities. In addition to being a member of the Board of Directors, he served two terms as Chair, and in 2019, he stepped in to serve the organization as Interim CEO. He was also a World Curling representative for several years and was on the Finance Committee of that organization, building important relationships that helped the standing of the United States in the sport’s international community.
Lepping and his wife Beth were introduced to the sport of curling while living in Madison, WI, and quickly fell in love with both the spirited competition and the social aspects of the game. In addition to his work on behalf of USA Curling, Lepping served as the President of the Madison Curling Club and the Wisconsin State Curling Association. Beth Lepping has been active as a builder of the game as well, and is a Past President of the United States Women’s Curling Association.

Rich noted, “I am truly honored to be selected for the Hall of Fame. During my adult life, the sport of curling has been such a rewarding, energizing pursuit. Through my participation in the game at many different levels, I have forged lasting friendships and enjoyed incredible experiences across the country and throughout the world.”
