Board of Directors Candidates

**President**
	Statement of Interest My name is Paul Greer and I am the current President for our San Diego-Imperial Association and would like to declare my interest in receiving a third term to help lead our organization through 2026. I am running with three other colleagues for officer positions, Tina Breen for Vice President, Nancy Morris for Secretary and Hunter Daniel for Treasurer and I hope you consider voting for the four of us on election day. Over the past two years, our Board of Birectors have worked to increase our association's visibility in the community through targeted programs such as hosting Association Track and Field Championships for Youth, Open and Masters along with the continued success of our Summer Nights Track & Field Series that just concluded its 15th year. There was another successful Youth Track and Field series of events along with a very successful Association and Regional Championships this past June. Over the next two years, my main objectives will be to increase effective communication between the Board of Directors and our USATF San Diego membership and fill many of the vacant positions that are still needing to be filled including our Track and Field Open Chair. Our Association has received awards at the National level these past two years distinguishing us as one of the finest Associations in the nation. All credit is due to the outstanding board members that I continue to serve under my capacity. I look forward to engaging all of our association members to help create our objectives and meet our goals. Furthermore, I would like to continue my efforts gaining better track and field facility access to both high schools and colleges in the greater San Diego area. Biography I grew up in San Diego where I graduated from Saint Augustine High School and competed for San Diego State University’s Track and Field program. Currently, I have the SDSU School Record in the 1500 meters at 3:42.44 and broke the 4-minute mile at 3:59.79. I competed at the 1992 US Olympic Trials in the 1500 meters. Currently, I am in my 39th year coaching the San Diego Track Club and I continue to serve the community as the series director for both the 24th USATF San Diego Dirt Dog Cross Country Series and the 15th USATF San Diego Summer Nights Track and Field Series. This past March I was selected to serve as the USA Coach for Men's U20 at the 2024 World Athletics Cross Country Championships that took place in Belgrade, Serbia. My new book, "Going the Distance, Strategies from the First Stride to the Finished Line" was released earlier this year and is an Amazon best seller. Currently, I am a Professor of Health and Exercise Science at San Diego City College and have a passion for San Diego Track and Field/Long Distance Running community. I look forward to working with all of you in the future ahead
