Subject: Board of Directors Election and June Workshops

Hello PNWTOA Members,

Hope this message finds everyone well, with another ITA season in the books and plenty of summer outdoor events ahead of us.

Our 2023 Board of Directors Election concluded last week, with Mick Horton (who assumed Siamak Hajarizadeh’s seat earlier this year), Krishnan Gowri, and Jacob Moya being elected to new 3-year terms, which will begin in July.

Thanks to all who voted – wonderful to see a turnout in excess of 50%. Here are the results:

Please join me in again thanking Siamak (who had served on the board since its inception) as well our outgoing Directors whose terms will conclude in June, Camilla George and Tony Hernandez. All three made invaluable contributions to the PNWTOA during their board service, and will continue to do so in non-board capacities going forward. The next time you see them at a tournament, a workshop, or across the net, please consider letting them know how much we all value the dedication and selflessness they have demonstrated in these roles.

Finally, a reminder that we have two USTA In-person training opportunities in June:

• Roving Workshop — 6/10/23 at Bellevue Pro Club, Bellevue, WA
• Chair Workshop — 6/24/23 at Central Park, Kirkland, WA

Registration for these trainings is live through the USTA Officiating Learning Center at http://lrc.learn.taleo.net/ustaofficiating – log into your account there to sign up and reserve your seat.

If different workshop locations or disciplines would be more helpful to you, please let us know. We can schedule workshops for Roving, Line, Chair, and Referee in any part of the PNW – we just need to gauge from you, our members, what and where to organize based on need/demand.

As always, if you have questions about the above or any other topics, don’t hesitate to contact us at: pnwtennisofficials or reach out to any Board member directly.

Stay tuned for more PNW officiating news this summer, and in the meantime, be safe and have fun!

Thank you,

Scott Pennington, PNWTOA President
