He serves as a member of the FINA Executive Committee, Chairman of the FINA Development Commission, and Bureau Liaison to the FINA Technical Swimming Committee, providing the United States with a critically important leadership profile.<\/p>\n<p>Dale also serves as the President of Union American de Natacion (UANA) and has worked diligently and collaboratively to transform the organization and to lead it to new heights. Through his efforts, UANA has grown to be a viable and effective vehicle for development and advancement of our aquatic disciplines in the 43 National Federations in the Americas.<\/p>\n<p>Dale has stayed at his post with a steady eye on the goal of advancing dedicated and talented volunteers across all our disciplines into positions where they can be effective in so many ways. On behalf of the USAS Family, I extend my special appreciation to him.<\/p>\n<p>I am very pleased that USAS is so well represented on FINA committees, commissions, and panels, where we have the opportunity to have profound impact on the future of our sport. We are fortunate to be able to nominate individuals with commitment to volunteer service and ethical principles. Their role in the governance of FINA is significant, and I extend my gratitude to each of them for their extraordinary service and dedication.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>STATEMENT BY Dale Neuburger FINA Vice President<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>FINA committees have broad impact to provide technical expertise necessary for our sport to maintain its position as a leading sport on the Olympic program. I am proud that USAS nominated individuals of integrity and competence who are willing to work hard to advance the highest ideals of our sport, keeping the interests of athletes as their highest priority.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 In 2013, United States representatives occupied places on 19 committees (of 20), with leadership positions in four committees.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 In 2017, United States representatives occupy places on 19 committees (of 22), with leadership positions in eight committees.<br \/>\nThe competition for these positions is significantly more intense than in years past.
