GSLR BOARD MEMBERS

Irene Lysenko - President

Irene grew up in Vernal, Utah but has spent the last two decades living around New York City in New York, New Jersey and, most recently, Connecticut. An avid runner, she began looking for a new sport when her knee began to give out. Some friends introduced her to rowing nine years ago, and she's never looked back. Irene has loved every moment of competition including The Head of Charles and US Rowing Nationals. She's also enjoyed coaching youth in the sport and loves to see the lightbulbs go on when people begin to understand and fall in love with rowing. Irene is glad to be back in Utah and be a part of growing this sport in this part of the country.

Brenda Allen - Vice President

Brenda Allen is a Utah native and has been a member of Great Salt Lake Rowing for 5 years. Her passion for the sport was born when she attend National Learn to Row Day. She is the mom to two smart and sassy girls. In her time off the water she likes to paddle-board, hike, golf and run half marathons. Brenda is the Vice President of Great Salt Lake Rowing organization and also the Assistant Coach for Waterford High School Crew Team.  

 

Lorne Hofstetter - Secretary

Lorne grew up in Eagle, Idaho. He went east for college and decided to give rowing a try so that he could stay in shape for ski season. He soon become hooked and rowed competitively during college and afterwards has continued to row recreationally for the past 10 years. Lorne has now been a member of Great Salt Lake Rowing for 4 years. 

Joann Cloud - Treasurer

Joann grew up in the Glacier Park area of Montana and loved team sports for social activities. After longtime involvement in a science career, off-work activities diminished and athletic teams faded out of the picture entirely. After realizing that adult life definitely had become unhealthy, Joann learned to row through the Huntsman Cancer Institute’s wellness program. Rowing has been a wonderful discovery of an activity that supplies full body fitness without stress to the body parts. Furthermore, concentration on rowing technique empties the mind of all worries and stress from work. The soothing, outdoor, and social aspects complimented the exercise enough for her to get hooked and join the Great Salt Lake Rowing Club.

Nicole Kawakami - Membership

Nicole Kawakami grew up in Utah county.  Please don't judge too harshly.  She loves to travel; mostly for the food!  She teaches 2nd grade in the Herriman area, which allows her to feed this addiction when off-track.  She also enjoys gardening, snowboarding, watching soccer matches and Netflix (does that qualify as a hobby?).  She first became interested in rowing while watching scullers outside her flat in Nottingham, England.  She finally started rowing after learning that it used every muscle in your body... What?!  Who doesn't love that kind of exercise!  She loves being out on the water--the challenge as well as the tranquility.  She is proud to be able to be a part of the world's saltiest rowers!  One word description: quirky.  Look it up; it is not necessarily a bad thing ...

Meghan Saunders - Communications

Meghan grew up in Southern Alberta, Canada which doesn't give one much opportunity to row. After attending a National Learn to Row Day, she became hooked and hasn't looked back. Rowing just seems to fit and provides a great combination of exercise, community and challenge. When not on the lake, Meghan can be found working on a variety of projects, watching soccer, traveling or designing.
