Hello Christine,

You have been identified as a coach or club contact in the Pacific Masters LMSC. As such we want to make sure you know about a potential leadership opportunity from USMS March 4-6, 2022 in Denver, CO.

USMS is calling this March leadership gathering Relay 2022 (because relays are a group effort!) The theme of Relay 2022 is club development with a focus on building relationships with facilities, recruiting and supporting coaches, and providing resources for clubs to grow.

Pacific Masters is looking for volunteer attendees who have the interest, skills, and passion for helping develop USMS clubs at the local level. We are particularly looking volunteers who have not attended a USMS leadership meeting, are eager to get involved, and want to share what they learn when they return with their Pacific Masters.

If you are currently coaching in the Pacific Masters LMSC and feel you, a member of your coaching staff, or any of your swimmers who would be a good fit for this opportunity, please encourage them to apply.

Selected attendees will have the following costs covered:

•  Hotel room, double occupancy (if a single room is required, the balance will be borne by the attendee).
•    Reasonable round trip airfare to Denver.
• · $100 stipend to cover travel to airport and meals not provided by USMS

.

Those interested in applying for this opportunity should provide a letter stating why they want to attend, what their current position is now, and what they think they might like to do with the leadership skills and knowledge they bring back. Please send the letter of interest (or any questions) to CHAIR by January 15, 2022.

Kind regards

Phyllis Quinn,

Chair Pacific Masters Swimming
