Recipients of The Ted Haartz U.S. Masters Swimming Staff Appreciation Award

  Ed TsuzukiEd has gone above and beyond in providing guidance to various national staff members. Over the past two years he has assisted with all of the pre-convention communication, including the Delegate Welcome Letter and the new Delegate Survival Guide. Ed created an educational and entertaining New Delegate Orientation presentation that is shown during the first House of Delegates meeting and he has assisted with the workshop schedule, serving as the liaison to the LMSC Development Committee. Ed has assisted the staff in distributing grants to selected LMSCs that allow them to fund a delegate to the convention. He also assisted with communications and mentoring for a couple of LMSCs whose officers needed assistance with issues within their LMSCs. Ed has been a tremendous help to the USMS webmaster, too. His work on the Records & Tabulation committee was instrumental in the transition from an off-line Top10 process to the current integration of the event results database and the Top10 database. As the leader of the E2EEM task force, he did a great job of integrating both staff and volunteer input in the development of the online event sanction database and tools. Ed is reasonable to work with and digs in to understand the burdens on both the volunteers and the staff while seeking out the best solution for USMS. Ed manages to stay involved and up-to-date while maintaining a grueling international travel schedule for his “real” job. If you ever wonder where he is today, look no further than his Facebook page for photos of the pool he just swam in and the exotic meal that he just ate!
