Our Board
The Foundation is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors with a wealth of experience, tremendous passion for sharing the love of tennis, and a big heart for helping people across the state of Florida.
They hail from the top of Florida in the Panhandle and south to Plantation, and their experience and titles include presidents of tennis organizations, charitable organizations and industry. They are the ten-person USTA Florida Section Foundation Board of Directors, driving the organization that is the official charitable arm of the United States Tennis Association-Florida Section (USTA Florida). The board is responsible for directing grant dollars and assistance for after-school and P.E. programs for at-risk and special populations; grants for programming for underprivileged and at-risk children and adults; and the renovation, refurbishment and building of quality public tennis facilities along with tennis programming and instruction.
