During his one-year term, he plans to focus on introducing more of the general public to bridge through better publicity efforts at the local level.

The task of these committees would be to push news of the game —- Southern Californians tournament announcements, winners of recently completed events, classes on how to play, charity efforts, etc. —- in their respective local media markets. “In other parts of the world, Europe especially, it’s big news when romp in Mini-Blues someone wins a major event.
