Scott Harward Promoted to Executive Director

The Board of Directors of the Utah Youth Soccer Association is pleased to announce the promotion of Scott Harward to the position of Executive Director. The Board's action represents a strong vote of confidence in Harward's performance since joining the Association as its Office Manager around the beginning of the year.

"Scott's promotion is well-deserved," said President Paul C. Burke. "Scott has been a tireless worker during the last few months. He has taken an integral role in reinventing the Association. Whether managing finances, developing advertising materials, promoting the upcoming Women's National Team match, or supervising the State Office, Scott's focus has been on serving the Association's membership."

Treasurer Tom Borrowman offered praise for Harward's frugality, attributing Harward's resourcefulness and thrift for saving the money of UYSA's members. Borrowman also thanked Harward for his assistance with the recent semi-annual audit, which documented significant improvement in the State Office's financial management.

"I am glad that the Board of Directors has recognized Scott's hard work," said Burke. "To be sure, much work remains to be done to improve the Utah Youth Soccer Association. But we are moving in the right direction. I am confident that Scott will help this organization to better serve the Utah soccer community."
