Jesse Casso elected to the TSM Board
Dear Members of Team Santa Monica:
The election ballots received for the Board vacancy were tallied on the evening of June 14, 2010 by myself and a neutral team parent.
A total of 75 ballots were received from members. Of those 75, twelve accounts were ineligible to vote due to account payment status. The results of the election were as follows:
Jesse Casso: 37 votes
Peter Mitsakos: 22 votes
Tamara Muth-King: 4 votes
We are pleased to welcome Jesse Casso as the new TSM Board Member elected to fill the vacancy on the Board of Directors created by the resignation of David Winslow. Thank you to each of the candidates. We appreciate your willingness to participate and to volunteer your time as a TSM Board member.
If you have any questions regarding the election, please contact Monica Potter at [email protected].
Thank you.
Monica Potter, Secretary
Team Santa Monica

Jesse Casso is the father of Isabel and Liliana Casso, both Senior Group swimmers. We have been active members of TSM since 2002, volunteering our time, our home and making donations. We have been supportive of TSM when it had 70swimmers and now when it has 300 swimmers. Our family is very focused on diversity and inclusion. There is little of that in swimming. We worked to obtain a foundation grant providing scholarships for economically disadvantaged swimmers.
I am confident that our family experience at TSM and my work experience will allow me to be a capable board member.I was most recently the Chief Investment Officer of The California Endowment. I graduated from UC San Diego and the University of Pennsylvania Law School. I have lived and worked in Mexico and Japan. I have sat on and currently sit on a number of public and private company, and non-profit organization boards. I understand the accountability of boards to their constituents and believe that serving on the board of a parent led organization can be as challenging a task as any.
