Sex Abuse Accountability Project: Here’s Your USA Swimming Board of Directors

In the previous post I introduced the idea that it is time to start holding particular national swimming officials accountable for the unacceptably widespread, and casually (at best) prosecuted, problem of youth coach sex abuse.

I started with the responsible professional staff at USA Swimming. I move now to the USA Swimming board of directors. They are listed below. These are the people charged with hiring and firing executives; they are where the buck stops on policies, resources, and priorities. I’ll be supplementing this list with contact information, as I can locate it, and comments on the specific public performance of some of these worthies.

Next on the blog: Pull up a chair while I explain the underappreciated role of a group called the American Swimming Coaches Association in perpetuating the problem and blocking solutions.
