RCTA Board Members are appointed by the Riverside Park Conservancy to manage the affairs of the Riverside Tennis Association, LLC (RTA). The RTA is the legal entity that employs our staff and to which go all dues, donations and fees. Your membership dues and contributions are therefore fully-tax-deductible. Think of the RTA as dba RCTA. The RTA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Riverside Park Conservancy.
