IBO ANNOUNCES PRESIDENTIAL LEADERSHIP TRANSITION

After 14 years of dedicated leadership, Bryan Marcum is retiring as President of the International Bowhunting Organization, and Ryan Bass will assume the role of President.

Few people have experienced the IBO from as many perspectives as Bryan — professional competitor, National Champion, World Champion, IBO Director and finally President. Bryan brought a competitor’s perspective and a deep commitment to bowhunting and 3D archery to his leadership of the organization.

"It's been an honor and a privilege to lead such a great organization. I have full confidence that Ryan Bass, the newly elected officers, and the Board of Directors will do a great job and continue our mission to promote, encourage, and foster the sport of Bowhunting. As we turn the page to begin a new chapter, know that the IBO will be guided by the same core values that I have followed for the past 14 years: God, Family, and Country."

— Bryan Marcum

We sincerely thank Bryan for his leadership, dedication, and years of service to the IBO. His contributions have helped shape the organization we know today and created a strong foundation for its future.

Ryan Bass assumes the presidency after 10 years as part of the IBO leadership team, serving on the Board of Directors, as Vice President, and as Director of the IBO 3D Challenge program. A retired South Carolina Department of Natural Resources law enforcement officer, Ryan spent 25 years in law enforcement and has a long history of program development which included youth shooting sports, specifically youth archery.

“I’m honored to have the opportunity to serve as President of the IBO. Bryan has given 14 years of leadership to this organization, and I have been fortunate to work alongside him and learn from that experience. My goal is to build on the foundation that Bryan and those before us established while continuing to strengthen the IBO, support our members, bowhunters, and create opportunities for the next generation of archers.”
— Ryan Bass

As part of the leadership transition, the IBO Board of Directors has also selected a new slate of officers:

Larry Kade — Vice President
EJ Hess — Secretary
Martin Head — Treasurer

Please join us in thanking Bryan Marcum for his many years of leadership and service to the IBO and in welcoming the organization’s new leadership team as we begin the next chapter of the International Bowhunting Organization.
