End of an Era: Dan Santorum Concludes Four Decades of Exemplary Service at PTR

After four decades of dedicated service, Dan Santorum is departing PTR. Dan has been an instrumental part of PTR’s global growth and success. Over the years, he has held various roles, bringing dedication and expertise to each one.

Lynne Rolley, PTR’s Board Chair, stated  “we are so grateful for all Dan has done to bring PTR to its current state.  Over the years Dan has worked for PTR, the organization has grown to over 20,000 members in various sports. Dan has been a rich source of vision and knowledge and we appreciate his service. “

 “It has been an incredible honor to be a part of PTR’s journey for the past 40 years,” said Dan Santorum. “I am immensely grateful for the opportunities, experiences, and friendships from around the world that have enriched my career. There have been so many people and so many moments that have made my years at PTR an incredible journey.  I will always appreciate the opportunities I have experienced to serve and work with so many great colleagues.”
