NJTL of Trenton Announces Staff Transition & Other Important News

On May 20, long time staff member, Dan Faber stepped aside as NJTLT executive director.  Although we will miss Dan, the board of directors is proud to see him move on to lead USTA Serves, the national charitable foundation of the United States Tennis Association (USTA).  The good news is that our Development Director, Rob Howland, who has been with us in various roles for the last 14 years, will serve as our new executive director

Michelle Gbelama, a former participant, scholarship recipient, captain and number one Trenton High School/Drew University Women's tennis team member was recently hired to replace Laurie Bouch as Program Director.  We are excited about Michelle joining the staff but also wish to send heartfelt congratulations on her recent, May 18th graduation, where she obtained a Masters degree from Drew.

In early May, NJTLT, in partnership with the USTA, hosted a regional training at the Trenton Marriott for the Academic Creative Engagement (ACE) program. This successful training, brought together over 50 NJTL chapter leaders from the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.   The purpose of the training was to provide knowledge on the delivery of ACE, organizational capacity building and player development. 

Although this is a time of transition for NJTLT, the programs are moving full steam ahead.  After-school programs are wrapping up and will culminate with the Trenton Short Court Championships on June 11 (rain date of June 12), youth and adult programs at Cadwalader Park are underway and registration is now open for the summer program. 

We greatly appreciate your continued support of the National Junior Tennis & Learning of Trenton.  Do not hesitate to contact Rob or Michelle directly at rhowland@njtloftrenton.org or mgbelama@njtloftrenotn.org.
