Officers

President	Jeff Goodreau I 've been diving since 1996. I like, and do, all kinds of diving: shipwreck, cave, technical, and I am never against hunting a few lobsters. Diving is fun and a fun year is what I'm aiming for with the Club this year!
Vice-President	Pete Conlon I started scuba diving in 1987 after completing the basic open water class. I completed my open water test at Whites Beach on the North Shore of Massachusetts and have been diving the same areas ever since! I have done some warm water dives, Venezuela, Key Largo, Jamaica, Turks & Caicos, Bonaire and The Grave Yard of the Atlantic, North Carolina. I’ve also had the opportunity to dive in Epcot’s Living Seas aquarium. During the warm months, I try to get out diving every weekend- mostly exploring the North Shore area. I also like to fish and be out on my boat with family & friends. I’m married with 2 teenage kids who keep me very busy. My wife and oldest are certified divers and I hope to get my daughter certified soon. I am employed as a licensed plumber. I have served as a board member for United Divers of Central Mass for several years in different positions. In 2002 & 2003 I served as a board member. In 2007 & 2008 I served as vice president. As vice president in 2013, I invite all members to contact me with any questions, concerns or ideas or if you just want to go diving! I will help in any way possible to make United Divers of Central Mass a successful dive club!
Treasurer	Janet Abraham I was NAUI certified in 1969. My Dad dove with the Somerville Frogmen in the 60's, and my sister and I spent many Sundays playing on the rocks at Lanes Cove in Gloucester. It was only natural that I became a diver when I was old enough. Sadly I never actually got to dive with my Dad, but my husband and I still use one of my Dad's tanks and Lanes Cove is my favorite NE dive location. It brings back wonderful memories and is a great place to dive! In 2000 diving became an Abraham family affair when our two children became PADI certified and joined Bob and me for their first Caribbean dive trip. Since then I have logged almost 400 dives in both warm and cold water ~ I definitely prefer warm. In 2009 I was talked into a drysuit by club members, that has made NE diving a bit better. Being a member of the Club has made diving a social event like it was for my Dad. Not only is it more fun, but we learn from each other as well as from interesting guest speakers. Bob and I have met many new dive friends and have had a great time on trips and at meetings. Three of the highlights have been the club trips to Canada for wreck dives. Very exciting!
Activities	Kevin Brook I have been diving for 5 years now, This will be my third tour as a board member. I am looking forward to running my weekend shore dives as soon as the water warms up. I hope to see you there
Secretary	Christ ine Duval Over the past 8 years of being a certified diver, I’ve been fortunate enough to have been able to have a wide variety of diver experiences and opportunities. From diving with a beluga whale to exploring WWII shipwrecks, some of the things that I have seen still amaze me today. I am certified up through assistant instructor on the leadership end and to advanced trimix on the technical end of diving. I truly enjoy every aspect of being in the water! I am currently an owner of Andy’s Sport Shop in Fitchburg, Massachusetts and thoroughly enjoy helping new and seasoned divers with all of their scuba needs. I am very involved with teaching scuba as well as constantly trying to learn new info and techniques for my own enjoyment and knowledge. My favorite part of teaching is the first time that we put students on scuba and watch their excitement when they breath underwater for the first time. I am looking forward to serving on the United Divers board of directors for the next year. I really do enjoy being involved with the club and helping promote the sport of scuba diving! Get out and dive!
Membership Coordinator	Mark Bowers I have been diving since 1979 and teaching scuba since 1987. Through diving I have had some of the most enjoyable experiences of my life. I have really enjoyed wreck diving over the years and continue to do so. I very much enjoy the natural things too. Two years ago I was fortunate enough to swim with a pod of dolphins in the wild. Last year I completed full cave diving certification. That has opened up a new and completely different avenue of underwater experiences. I cannot wait to get back to cave country! From diving I have met some of the most interesting and intriguing people. Of all the people I have met I think the biggest was meeting Jacques Cousteau many years ago. I have made many friends around the world as a result of diving. My greatest hope is that everyone could have the experiences I have been so fortunate to have and more. Over the years “the club” has been such a positive experience! Each meeting or activity is a bit like coming home. There is always such a feeling of camaraderie. The “club” is such a great place for divers of all levels of certification and experience. I have served on previous boards, and I don’t mind taking my turn again. I look forward to another year serving on the board, catching up with old friends, making new friends and eagerly await the adventures yet to come!
