GLTA Executive Board

GLTA is managed by an Executive Board of volunteer officers elected to represent the membership. The Board stands for a happy, vibrant and inclusive community where our members can enjoy competitive tennis and meet other like-minded people.

The Board supervises the activities of GLTA and has the administrative power to implement day-to-day management decisions, including managing and overseeing GLTA’s international tournaments, as well as Rules, Regulations and Codes of Conduct. In addition the board administers the finances of GLTA.

Members of the Executive Board are not entitled to remuneration for their services but are reimbursed limited travel expenses in connection with their attendance at two mandatory Executive Board meetings each year.
