“To share among our members and all communities a love of tennis that is distinguished by friendliness, diversity, equity, inclusiveness, and accessibility.”
Composition: Comprised of 2 Trustees, one of whom serves as chair, the GM, at least 4 members at large, and at least 6 Associate Members. DEI Associate Members serve 1-2 year staggered terms and are selected by the committee from the pool of club membership applicants.
