Meet the new members of the Rose Bowl Aquatics Center Board of Directors:

Mr. Dave Greene: A writer and television producer, Dave brings experience in public communication, board dynamics, grant writing, fundraising, budgeting, insurance, bylaws revision, and government reporting. Dave has over a decade of experience in aquatics as a water polo and swim parent and as a high school water polo coach.

Together with his wife, they run a novice-level swim team for their daughter's elementary school. They are responsible for coordinating practice space, volunteer coaches, and meet participation for over 50 swimmers. Their goal is to foster a love of the water, create a supportive community, and offer students the chance to challenge themselves physically through swimming to give other families an experience similar to the one RBAC has provided for them.

Ms. Jenny Yu: With a background in general and employment law, Jenny brings valuable experience from previous experience working with a legal non-profit. She has a history as a youth swimmer and water polo player and now enjoys seeing her children as part of the RBAC community. Ms. Yu continues to advise boards on litigation, prevention counseling, risk management, and public disclosure laws, such as the Brown Act. She is particularly passionate about RBAC's community outreach programs, especially the third-grade Pasadena Unified School District water safety program.
