🎾 This Women's History Month, Houston Tennis Association is proud to celebrate the women who don't just play the game — they grow it.
From the courts of River Oaks to neighborhood parks across the city, these leaders are making tennis more accessible, more inclusive, and more powerful than ever.
🏅 Bronwyn Greer, Tournament Director of the US Men's Clay Court Championship, has built lasting bridges between professional tennis and Houston's junior programs — including the Clay Court Team Challenge, where young players compete and then watch the pros live.
🏅 Cindy Benzon, Community Services & Adaptive Coordinator at USTA Texas, is expanding access to tennis for individuals with intellectual & developmental disabilities, veterans, the visually impaired, and wheelchair athletes across the entire state.
And they're just two of the extraordinary women shaping our sport:
✦ Lara Lehmann — USTA Texas President
✦ Emily Schaefer — HTA Executive Director
✦ Zina Garrison — CEO, Zina Garrison Tennis Academy & Houston Parks Tennis Director
✦ Caroline Champion — HTA President
✦ Haley Wallace — USMCCC Director of Tournament Operations
