Over the years Karen has developed a reputation as one of the top age group coaches in the country. Recently she has also served as our coordinator for the Safe Sport program.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #339966;\">The board plans to have a new director in place by the end of the summer. Guidelines have been established and we have begun our search. We are looking for an individual that is enthusiastic, has been involved with a national level squad, and has the ability to develop and coordinate a well-structured program at all levels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #339966;\">The board would also like to officially announce the hiring of <strong>Ed Abele<\/strong> as our Director of Business Development. Ed has been working closely with our staff in recent months. \u00a0He is a former Jersey Wahoo (still holds a few team records), a graduate of the University of North Carolina (where he was an All American), and has completed advanced course work at Harvard. \u00a0Ed was COO of a large manufacturing company and comes to us ready to implement his deep knowledge and understanding of running a successful company. Ed is committed to the success of Jersey Wahoos and is looking forward to restructuring the business side of Wahoos. \u00a0When completed his focus will shift towards fund raising, developing programs to increase the membership, and plans for our long discussed facility expansion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #339966;\">This is the beginning of an exciting time for Jersey Wahoos. We look forward to upgrading and expanding our program while setting goals that will culminate with one of the top age group\/senior teams in the country. The future of Jersey Wahoos shines bright and we look forward to continuing to execute our mission of inspiring and developing athletes to achieve excellence in the pool, the classroom, and the community!<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p>Swimming World reached out to Carroll for comment.
