Step Right Up!
The Board
James Lambert
President
president@screaming-eagles.com
James has been a United supporter since the inaugural match in 1996, and a Screaming Eagle since 2004.
His favorite United moment? "2004 Eastern Conference Final vs. New England. Rimando stops Dempsey to win the penalty shootout and send us to MLS Cup. The ground on the bouncy side at RFK was vibrating from the noise."
Among his goals for SE include growing the supporters' community by bringing more kids to matches at the new stadium, and "making the club an even greater force for good in our community."

Vice President
Nicole Gara
Secretary
Nicole has been a member of the Screaming Eagles since 1996 and is one of the founding board members. She is best known as the SE Ticket Mistress, having sold thousands of match tickets to folks who want to enjoy the supporters’ experience. “I thought I would retire when the team got a new stadium,” she says, “but so many exciting projects are in the works that I can’t stop now!”
Doug Norfleet
Treasurer
Say hello to our brand-new Treasurer!
Doug became a D.C. United fan after moving to the District from Nashville in 2018. Given that his first year of fandom included signing Wayne Rooney, Audi Field's grand opening, and a home playoff game, his expectations will forever be through the roof. He is here to crunch numbers and count beans for the Eagles.
Jean Kasner
Director-at-Large
screamingeaglesdc@gmail.com
Jean has been a United supporter since 2006, and a member of the Screaming Eagles since 2016. She is appreciative of the close friendships she has made since joining SE, and enjoys being a member of the Screaming Eagles family.
One of Jean's many favorite D.C. United memories is her first match in the Nest at RFK, which coincided with David Beckham's first MLS game. She was immediately hooked on the passionate, rowdy environment, and has been known to get pretty loud at matches herself!
Not the Board
(but we couldn't do this without them)
Katrina Burkgren
Membership Director
screamingeaglesmembership@gmail.com
attended her first D.C. United match in 2014. She joined the Screaming Eagles in 2017. She loves being a part of the Screaming Eagles and meeting other people who have the same passion for the game. She was drawn to volunteer after learning about all of the Screaming Eagles community engagements.
Most memorable game? “The 6-4 victory over Real Salt Lake in 2015. RFK was electric and just when you thought the game might end in a draw, or worse a loss, D.C. United would score another goal."
Danielle Lafave
Webmaster
This is Danielle's third season with the Screaming Eagles, as a relatively recent convert to D.C. United. In addition to managing the website, she helps out with social media and communications. She briefly served as a board member in late 2017 / early 2018.
She grew up playing soccer (defense saves games!) and loves nothing more than singing at a match at the top of her lungs. The louder the cheers, the better!
