“I’m very excited to have Calianne join the staff,” noted league Commissioner Dan Sharadin.
The Director of Membership Services position is responsible for membership orientation, development and satisfaction, including the coordination of event management for the league’s close to 300 members at division, regional and national championships around the country.

A 2023 graduate of Utah with a Bachelor of Science in Strategic Communications, Timothy served as team president of the Utes women’s water polo team from 2021-to-2023. During her tenure, she increased the club’s revenue by 300%, managed the team’s travel and coordinated all administrative functions. Prior to Utah, she served as team captain for the Utah State University water polo club during the 2017-18 academic year.
“Her background and experience is a perfect fit,” added Sharadin.
“Having played at the University of Utah and served as their team leader, she understands the challenges of our club sport athletes trying to juggle school while leading their teams.”
