May 28, 2025 – USRowing is pleased to announce our partnership with The Baldwin Group, a renowned insurance distribution firm. The Baldwin Group partnership will support the Currents program by providing professional opportunities for members of the U.S. National Team.
“USRowing is excited to welcome The Baldwin Group to our Currents family,” said Amanda Cobb, USRowing’s Director of Partnerships. “Their support for our national team athletes as they train for the Games is invaluable. This partnership offers our athletes a unique opportunity to expand their professional experience and grow their networks.”
This collaboration marks a significant milestone in USRowing’s efforts to provide U.S. national team athletes with careers while they are training. Providing career growth for talented rowers is central to the team’s long-term success.
“We are delighted to extend career and professional development opportunities to talented US National Team athletes as they pursue their Olympic dreams,” said Erin King, Chief Colleague Officer at The Baldwin Group. “Their grit, teamwork, and ‘we before me’ attitude personify the core values of The Baldwin Group. We are excited to welcome them as colleagues later this summer.”
USRowing is committed to helping national team athletes succeed by leveraging the rowing community’s expansive resources and connections to secure rewarding careers after dedicating years to rowing. Long-term commitment to the national team has played a significant role in success on the international stage, as seen by the gold medalists from the men’s four who all returned for a second Olympic cycle. Retaining athletes for multiple Olympic and Paralympic cycles requires a strong support system that allows them to build professional careers while aiming for success on the international stage.
“We’re thrilled that Baldwin is investing in our athletes’ professional development off the water, enabling them to continue pursuing excellence on the water,” said Nancy Pederson, Athlete Success Associate.
