I would like to extend a special thank you to the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee members for their time and dedication to synchronized swimming. Their advice, leadership and policy decisions are always in the best interest of our athletes, volunteers and sport. It constantly amazes me the soul searching and thought process that goes into every one of their decisions. It has also been a privilege to work with Terry Harper and our staff. They continue to exemplify their dedication to our programs, volunteers and sport by achieving all of the goals and priorities placed in front of them. It has been both a privilege and an honor to serve as your President this past year. Thank you for the opportunity.
