Laura Roberts has been promoted to US Equestrian Managing Director of Dressage, succeeding Hallye Griffin who became Director of FEI Sport. Laura has been director of Dressage Performance and Event Support.

“Over the past five years, I have worked closely with Hallye Griffin, alongside our USEF dressage staff and coaches, and I am excited to continue working within USA Dressage at the national and international levels as the Managing Director,” Laura said.

“We have a strong pathway in place and continue to see increased participation in all our programs. I’m looking forward to building upon the success and foundation of the past several years and supporting our athletes to deliver results at the highest levels.”

Laura has extensive experience with sports management–with U.S. Dressage, USA Karate and U.S. Figure Skating. She was team USA coordinator for the U.S. Figure Skating Team at the Pyeongchang 2018 Olympic Games.

With USEF,  Laura was U.S. team leader for the 2019 Pan American Games and and has led several Nations Cup teams at both senior and youth levels. Laura will continue reporting to Hallye, as she has for the past five years.

“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.”
