“I’m really excited to welcome Matt and Matt to the Regional Coordinator team! Both Dwyers have demonstrated time and again how dedicated they are to this sport and this community, and I think they’ll be a lot of help in their respective regions, both for providing timely assistance and helping make sure teams understand what is expected of them, but also for confusing everybody with matching names, emails, and positions.” said Eric Schnier, USQ Membership Director.
