Bethany Point Center Equestrian Foundation (BPEF) and the ATLANTA DITC participated on December 5, 2007 and January 16, 2008 at USOC's 1st and 2nd public hearings for Modern Pentathlon National Governing Body (NGB). Marc Daniel GUTEKUNST was present in Colorado Springs at the 1st hearings, and ATLANTA DITC Board Member Robert STULL attended the January 2008 hearings.
The only two bids for NGB submitted to USOC were from BPEF and US Pentathlon. Should BPEF's bid be selected, the ATLANTA DITC would have 2 Directors on the new USA Pentathlon National Governing Body Board of Directors. The ATLANTA DITC would also become the South-East Regional Training Center for USA Pentathlon.
