Ted Haartz U.S. Masters Swimming Staff Appreciation Award

Recipient:	George Simon
Year:	2010
LMSC:	North Carolina

George had been the USMS Registration Committee chair since 2005. During the summer of 2007 he was very involved with the development and testing of the online registration system. He led the weekly calls with the software developers where discussions of problems and enhancements occurred and he continued to be an active participant.

George also developed online tutorials which assisted the LMSC registrars with instructions on how to use the program, to create reports, and to fix errors. He continued to monitor and correct billing and invoice problems that sometimes occurred when a member made a mistake while registering. George's assistance and support had been tremendously valuable to the USMS staff and the success of the USMS online registration program.
