2021 SD-I Officer Nominations

Nominee for Association President:

Paul Greer

Statement of Interest:
My name is Paul Greer and I am the current President for our Association and I would like to declare my interest in earning a second term to help lead our organization. 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 directors have worked to increase our association's visibility in the community through targeted programs such as hosting Association Track and Field Championships for Youth and Open along with our 12th year of the Summer Nights Track & Field Series was another great success. There was another successful Youth Track and Field series of events at Morse High School this past spring. Over the next two years, my main objectives will be to increase 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. Our Association is in a position to grow and I look forward to engaging all of our members to help create our objectives and meet our goals. Furthermore, I would like to continue our efforts to capitalize on our visibility by bringing an "American Track League Meet" (ATL) to San Diego. The American Track League is a fairly new meet for professional track and field athletes and it would be great to see this meet take place in "America's Finest City" and gain National attention on television. Continued work is ongoing on gaining better track and field facility access to both high schools and colleges in the greater San Diego area.
