Maxfield, Malchenson Elected to Board of Directors

At the State Council meeting on Saturday, April 26th, Scott Maxfield and David Malchenson were elected to serve as UYSA's Vice President and Boys Competition Director, respectively. Both Maxfield and Malchenson were elected by acclamation. The State Council meeting, which lasted less than fifteen minutes, was followed by an open forum discussion on the Association's future.

Scott Maxfield assumes the vice-presidency after serving for more than a decade as the President of League 13. David Malchenson, who moved to Utah within the last two years, brings experience from his service to the Central Pennsylvania Soccer Association. Malchenson currently coaches both boys and girls teams in the State Competition League.

President Paul C. Burke congratulated both candidates on their respective elections. "Scott Maxfield is supremely qualified to serve on the Board of Directors," said Burke. "Scott has built an excellent organization in League 13, and his wisdom, experience, and pragmatism will be invaluable to the state association."

Burke also welcomed Malchenson to the Board of Directors. "David's passion for the game is readily apparent," said Burke. "We appreciate his willingness to serve as the Boys Competition Director."

The next meeting of the Board of Directors will be Thursday, May 15th. It will also be the first meeting for Dave Mills, who was elected last week to serve as the new Chairman of District 4.
