Women's Director: Karen L. Funfgeld

The Women's Director is responsible for representing the interest of the women members of MTG at meetings of the Board of Directors. The Women's Director's responsibilities include, but are not limited to, developing, planning and overseeing the schedule of women's parties and activities. The Women’s Director participates in the general operations of MTG as a whole, including organization of league activities and events.


Why did you join the board, and what are you looking to accomplish for MTG?

As a passionate advocate for tennis and community engagement, I am thrilled to serve as the Women's Director of the MTG Tennis Group. With a background steeped in tennis leadership and a commitment to inclusivity, I am dedicated to fostering a welcoming and vibrant environment for players of all backgrounds and identities.

Having previously held the position of Women’s Director and a current USTA Captain, I have honed my skills in team management, event coordination, and player development. My experience has equipped me with a deep understanding of the dynamics of organized tennis, and I am excited to bring this knowledge to my role as Women's Director.

One of my primary goals in this role is to increase the women’s participation in MTG along with promoting tennis to the LGBTQ+ community and beyond. I believe that tennis has the power to unite people from all walks of life and create meaningful connections both on and off the court.

I am incredibly excited about the opportunity to serve as Women's Director and to work alongside fellow tennis enthusiasts to promote the sport we love. Together, we can create a more inclusive and welcoming tennis community that celebrates the diversity of its members and embraces the power of sport to bring people together.

Let's hit the courts and make a difference together!
