Crawford brings extensive experience in managing adaptive water sports programs in Arizona, having previously managed the "Day on the Lake" program at Barrow Neurological Institute[1]. The board includes members who are passionate about providing inclusive sports opportunities, such as Gary Robbins and Ryan Johnson, who support various adaptive sports initiatives[1].
