General Chair Report: January 2022

Wednesday, February 2, 2022

Southern California Swimming,


Continuing with the monthly board of directors meeting updates, I’m pleased to share the most recent actions from the board of directors.

The next regular board meeting is scheduled for February 16th, 2022, at 8:00 pm.


Executive Director Finalist Open Forum: The executive director search committee has narrowed the candidates to three finalists. First and foremost, Thank You to Ceallach Gibbons for her amazing leadership of the ED Search Committee during this comprehensive search process.

To make the finalists available for introductions and a Q & A session, we are holding three separate open forums for the LSC general membership, one for each of the finalists.

·         Tuesday, February 8th, 8:00 PM

·         Thursday, February 10th, 8:00 PM

·         Thursday, February 17th, 8:00 PM

Please complete the pre-forum survey if you would like to participate in the discussion forums with the finalist. The survey will allow us to determine how many will attend and includes an option for submitting questions ahead of time. There will also be a separate post-forum survey to collect feedback following the open forum.

I encourage you to participate in the forums to learn more about the three finalists. The much-needed new ED will have a monumental impact on our LSC, particularly the timeliness and quality of the services we deliver to our members. Forum links and reminders will be forwarded the day before each of the forum events.


The New SCS Logo: The board of directors overwhelmingly approved the new SCS logo created by Matt Lupton from USA Swimming. Thank you to Matt for attending the previous bod meeting and presenting the process for the development of this fantastic new logo. Once the usage agreement is complete, we will be able to share the logo with the general membership. The new SCS logo will also be incorporated into the design of our new website and social media platforms. 


On behalf of the SCS Board of Directors, I would like to thank you for your ongoing support!  


Mitch Gold
