NCPTUA

Greetings,

It is with great enthusiasm and excitement that I return to the presidency of our professional organization, NCPUTA. As president, I inherit a strong, stable organization with an excellent board of directors, active committee participation and a healthy balance sheet. This board is further strengthened with the addition of two new members; Tina Chandler of Chapel Hill and John Clark of Charlotte who will bring a new and fresh perspective to the board. I look forward to working closely with the board and each of our committees over the next few years.

I want to thank Harold Chapman for his outstanding service as our president over the past two years. Under his leadership, and that of his predecessors, North Carolina officiating has continued to grow and flourish beyond our important role at the “grass roots” local and state tournament level. Today we are well represented beyond the states boarders at professional events such as the U S Open, NASDAQ 100 and Family Circle, national collegiate level events including the NCAA championships, Blue Gray National Championships and the USTA/ITA Team Indoor. Locally we provide officials for more than 25 colleges and universities across the state. Today North Carolina hosts the Atlantic Coast Conference Championships for men and women, the ITA National Campus Championships and numerous national and southern tennis association events in addition to a full schedule of NCTA events all officiated by NCPUTA officials. Under Harold’s leadership, we have not only continued to expand our officiating, but we have increased compensations for our officials and improved their working conditions.

As President, I look forward to building on the excellent foundation my predecessors have set and expanding the involvement of all North Carolina officials in NCPUTA.

Cordially,

Scott Dillon
President
