Hannah Tsui named Director of UKC All-Breed Sports Department
March 19, 2020
A three-year team member of the All-Breed Sports Department, UKCs Hannah Tsui has been named the Director of All-Breed Sports.
Hannah's prior role as a UKC Licensed Event Coordinator allowed her to meet and help serve many of you over the phone, via email, and at all UKC major events (such as Premier and multiple UKC Classics, as well as Hunting Ops events like Autumn Oaks). Hannah has a firm grasp on all the responsibilities within the department and has been highly involved in rule changes, event planning, and results verification.
In her new role, Hannah will carry on attending events across the country and guiding the Program Managers, Club & Judge Coordinators, and Licensed Event Coordinators of the All-Breed Sports team in facilitating overall program goals and accomplishing strategic initiatives.
"I look forward to continuing to see our exhibitors at events, listening to their input, and always promoting Dogs That Do More," Hannah said.
Hannah lives in Kalamazoo, Michigan with her husband.
We'd like to extend our gratitude to former All-Breed Sports Director, Sydney Suwannarat, who has been with UKC since October 2011. Sydney brought with her extensive dog knowledge and a keen interest in making a positive impact on competitive dog sports. Having been enlisted with the Air National Guard for the past four years while still at UKC, Sydney has decided to relocate to Europe. We are indebted to her for her service to our nation and company these past years. We wish Sydney the best as she embarks on this next chapter of her life.
"Leaving UKC was not an easy decision. I have made some lifelong friends from my time here and I remain deeply committed to UKC and its mission. My husband and I are looking forward to this new, exciting opportunity," Sydney Suwannarat said.
"I couldn't be more proud of Hannah. She is extremely skilled and fully understands the ins and outs of UKC and the needs of our exhibitors. I expect great things in the future with her in the Director position," Sydney added.
Join us in welcoming Hannah Tsui into her new role!
