John Long, Chair of the World Games 2010 Foundation, the organizers of the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games, announced today that Jack Kelly, the Chief Executive Officer of the Games, will be stepping down at month’s end. Kelly has agreed to stay on in an advisory role as long as needed.

“With the key ‘two years to go’ anniversary fast approaching, we have decided that now is the best time for me to step down. As members of the board and I have recently discussed, for several personal reasons and with the increased intensity through the Games, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to fulfill what we agree is needed from a management role. It has been my privilege to serve the World Games 2010 Foundation Board. We have accomplished a great deal and I feel confident about the organizational structure and staff we have put in place to stage the Games. I will continue to contribute all that I can to help and encourage all Kentuckians to do the same.”

John P. “Jack” Kelly

CEO, World Games 2010 Foundation
