Staff

As the Grand Canyon State Games grows, so does our staff. Our Executive Director, Erik Widmark has been leading the organization for the past 13 years with a vision that is ever expanding. Gary Nees, our Vice President of Operations is constantly working with the commissioners and venues looking for ways to improve the competition for all participants.

Tara Heinrichs, our Vice President of Administration recruits one of the most important aspects of the organization-YOU!- the volunteers that give of your time to execute the events. Debbie Paterick, our webmaster and graphic designer, keeps us up to date with the latest technology to get the information out to our participants. As a staff we look forward to the upcoming events and can’t wait to work with you!
