Lunch Breaks with USTA New England Staff
Our staff is excited to sit down (virtually) with our Board of Directors and committee members, and get to know you better. Throughout the months of February and March, we're offering weekly lunch meet-and-greets with each USTA New England department. We hope you take advantage of this opportunity, as we believe every chance to directly interact with our volunteers will strengthen our relationship with you over the next three years and hopefully beyond.
