Southern

Virtual Happy Hour Recordings

Ron Cioffi | May 20, 2020

Led by USTA Southern President & CEO Bonnie Vandegrift, Southern started a series of Virtual Happy Hours during the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Held on selected Thursdays at 5:00 p.m. Eastern, we had informal chats with luminaries in the tennis world. Cocktails were encouraged.

 

Vandegrift led most interviews while USTA Southern Director of Community Tennis Andrew Feldman hosted our first. Our tech team of Rachel McBurney and Sofia Donlevy handled our polls and visuals.

 

Our interview with Chanda Rubin is available below.
