2024-2025 USC Swim and Dive Board and Committee Chair Positions
Planning for the 2024-2025 Swim and Dive season has already begun! The following Board positions need to be filled: Vice President, Membership, and Treasurer. Christina Clodfelter will transition to President. With 16 graduating seniors this year, we are set to lose several parent chairs/volunteers, many of whom have volunteered the past four years! As a result, there will be many vacant positions. Please consider stepping up! Many of the senior parents have offered to be on stand-by to offer their assistance. The earlier we fill these open positions, the more time to get organized and ready for the next season. The success of the season hinges on active parent involvement! The link to the sign-up with descriptions can be found here:
