U.S. Masters Swimming Dorothy Donnelly Service Award

Recipient:	Ian King
Year:	2022
LMSC:	Pacific

In 2013, Ian was elected to a Member-at-Large position on the Georgia LMSC board. Three years later he became the Chair but served only a year due to a move to Northern California in 2017. Georgia’s loss was Pacific LMSC’s gain. He Joined Walnut Creek Masters Swim Club, started attending LMSC meetings, and expressed a willingness to contribute. In 2019 he was elected as LMSC Secretary position and re-elected in 2021. He devised an efficient template to use for minutes that was concise but ensured the essence of the monthly meetings was captured. Ian volunteered for numerous Ad Hoc subcommittees. On the national level, he served on the USMS Fitness Committee in 2017 and the Rules Committee from 2020-2021. He was elected Oceana Zone Chair in 2021, which included membership on the LMSC Development Committee. Finally, in early 2022 he was appointed Vice Chair of the USMS Compensation and Benefits Committee.
