USGO 2013 Player Interview – Ember Harker (VIDEO)
With this year’s USGO boasting, perhaps, its’ first lone female tournament director*, it seemed only fitting to grab Ember Harker, the Gay and Lesbian Tennis Federation’s first female president, for a player interview.
I remember when Ember first came on the scene. In fact, she was on my winning WTT “Team Meerkats” at the 2007 USGO. (Look for the Team Meerkat photo below the video.) What I remember most about Ember back then, besides cute matching outfits, was a great smile and gracious personality. Those same traits followed her onto the GLTF Board of Directors and, ultimately, the presidency.
These days she’s no longer on the GLTF Board, and enjoying her time as a private tennis citizen. But she’s still appreciative of her time on the board, and proud of the contributions she was able to make to the organization. (I second that pride!)
So sit back and enjoy my chat with Ember.
* – There’s a good chance that there has been a previous female director for the USGO. Will research this item for a future update.)
