2015 Club Excellence Conference
The Power of Partnership
May 12 and 13, 2015
"I have attended this event every year since this program began and by far this one demonstrated the very clear effort that USSA is making to foster club development and professionalism. It is evident to me that under Tiger's and your leadership the culture at USSA in relation to club development and support has been thoroughly considered in many of your recent improvements."
Sarah Floyd, Director of Athletics, Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club
