Jeff Kopolow

I am a retired Ladue Horton Watkins social studies teacher and double-diamond National Forensic League Debate coach.  I currently teach online courses for the University of Missouri-Columbia, and write educational programs for three local museums.  I have played bridge for over 40 years, adding duplicate bridge five years ago.

Since I began playing duplicate, the local bridge community has been most kind, accepting and helpful to me.  I feel it is important to “give back” to this community, and that I have something to offer.

What do I have to offer to the Board and the Unit?

• Part of local management team in 1998 for the National Forensic League National Tournament, involving nearly 5000 participants, coaches and judges.
• Part of the management team for 15 Missouri State Speech Tournaments
• St. Louis district speech manager for the Missouri State High School Activities Association.
• Treasurer and Extemporaneous Speaking Director for the Greater St. Louis Speech Association.
• Tournament manager for Ladue Horton Watkins invitational tournaments.
• Group facilitation skills.
