USRA BOARD OF DIRECTORS ELECTION
|
|
Keith Calkins -- Mission
Viejo, CA
I have served the USRA as treasurer for two years and currently serve on the financial committee. During our last audit it was reported that the USRA financial committee has been paramount to the organization. I would like to continue serving on this committee. I would appreciate hearing from any of our members and would enjoy sharing my thoughts about being on the Board. I take responsibilities seriously and my participation in racquetball has always been for personal satisfaction and growth as an individual. |

Rosita Cornelius --
Santa Maria, CA
Im also a proponent of developing the sport at the local level, lobbying for players needs and participation at community levels. I feel I am a qualified candidate with energy, enthusiasm and leadership skills that could benefit the board. I am also the President of the Board of Directors for the local Boys and Girls Club as well as a member of several civic organizations. Serving on the USRA Board of Directors would be a great honor for me. |

Jim Garner -- Pelham, AL
I, like all of you, would like to see our sport prosper and would like to provide leadership to see this accomplished. I am an unabashed junior advocate. Junior participation is the future of racquetball. We have to get more juniors, women, and seniors on the courts. Racquetball has given this Dad a lot of great quality time with his son, as well as helped me to meet a great group of folks along the way. I would appreciate your consideration and vote for the USRA Board of Directors. |

Shelley Ogden --
Cincinnati, OH
I have been involved in many exciting changes in racquetball in the last three years on the Board. We upgraded the national tournaments, helped the U.S. OPEN to its prestigious stage, improved the AmPRO program and brought manufacturers into the grass roots and out reach areas of programming. I am encouraged by the prospects of upcoming years in this still young sport. Yes, racquetball is surviving and moving forward every year on a professional level. I would love to continue to be a part of that decision making process in the next three years. |

Geoff Peters -- Chicago,
IL
Ive been involved in racquetball since being taught the game at Lake Forest College in 1973 and first competed in an organized tournament in January of 1974. I founded the Wisconsin Independent Racquetball Association (later affiliated with the USRA) and have served on Illinois State Racquetball Association Board of Directors for a total of 14 years including two years as President. In 1996 I was recognized by the USRA with the Presidential Award. Like many of you, I never was, and never will be an Open level player. I play racquetball for the joy of the game, the exercise and the camaraderie. Id like to serve on the USRA Board as a players representative who will implement our desire to promote and market a game we love. |
