Laura Roberts, who had been the U.S. Equestrian Federation’s dressage performance and event support director, will now be the managing director of dressage. She has moved up to fill the spot vacated by Hallye Griffin when she was promoted to the organization’s director of FEI Sport this month.
In addition to serving with USEF for five years, Laura has other sports experience. She was involved with USA Karate and U.S. Figure Skating, serving as team USA coordinator for the latter at the Pyeongchang 2018 Olympic Winter Games.
Laura was the USEF’s team leader for the 2019 Pan American Games and and led several Nations Cup teams at both senior and youth levels.
“I am thrilled that Laura is stepping into the managing director role for dressage,” Hallye said.
“Laura has worked closely with our coaching staff and committee members throughout her time with us and has developed invaluable knowledge about the ins and outs of dressage. She is a hard worker and a team player, and I have no doubt that she will be a great leader for U.S. Dressage.”
