USTA Eastern recently partnered with the USPTA/USPTR for its annual weekendlong conference at the Renaissance Westchester Hotel in West Harrison, N.Y. The theme of the event was to continue to grow tennis together. With more than 300 people from various tennis backgrounds and organizations at the event throughout the weekend, the conference
was a great way for members of our community to come together with the common goal of growing the sport. “The goal of the conference was to inspire our tennis advocates to take action locally to spread the love of the game,” said USTA Eastern Executive Director and COO Jenny Schnitzer. “The energy and enthusiasm was at an all-time high among the attendees and
are confident in a strong year ahead.” Expanding tennis inside the schools and growing its Hispanic initiative were some of the main topics discussed at the event. There were seminars, clinics, a cocktail reception, and the weekend culminated with an awards ceremony to honor those who impacted the game in the local tennis community in 2015.
