Description: Hey there! 2023 marks my second season as a TSC board member. I serve the Board as President where I primarily focus on the pool’s technology solutions, including the implementation of our NEW website, NEW pro-audio system, and NEW membership systems. When I’m not at the pool with my amazing partner in crime (Wife) and/or our 4 kids (5 including our pooch), you can likely find me at home woodworking or out enjoying our kids’ sporting events. I feel lucky to have our amazing team of volunteer board members this season! For any technology related questions or concerns, feel free to contact me.

I will be managing memberships and working closely with Ian to implement the new system. I will also be the contact person for pool rentals and staffing oversight.

This is my 4th year on the board, and I focus on facilities management. This is a big job since our pool is 50 years old.

Matt Clark, Grounds
Term: 2023
E-mail: matt@tamarackswimclub.com
Description: Hey Tamarack! My name is Matt Clark and 2023 marks my second season as a TSC board member. I serve the Board as the Vice President where I primarily focus on the grounds and safety training for our Lifeguards. When I’m not at the pool with my 3 boys, you can likely find me coaching or just enjoying one of their sporting events. We hired a lawn company to mow our grass last year which was a large expense but took the burden of mowing off the board members. We hope to continue this next year as well as improve by finding a solution for our front garden. If any members are interested in maintaining our garden all year or for any other grounds related questions, I can be contacted at matt@tamarackswimclub.com!

Terry Townsend, Treasurer
Term: N/A
E-mail: terry@tamarackswimclub.com
Description: Hi! My name is Terry Townsend. This is my second year on the board, and I serve as the Treasurer. While the Tamarack Swim Club treasurer does not initiate any expenditures, my role is to ensure proper recording of financial transactions, provide financial reporting to the board, and the completion of IRS filings. I have a history of assisting other area not-for-profit organizations, implementing sound financial stewardship and controls.
