What is the Emerging Leaders Board?

As Shooting Touch continues to grow and expand upon on our mission of using the power of sport to bridge opportunity gaps for youth and women, we aim to convene and cultivate the next generation of sport, health, and development leaders through our Emerging Leaders Board.

The Emerging Leaders Board (ELB) is a group of like-minded individuals from diverse backgrounds and experiences that have a passion for sports and giving back to youth, women, and their communities. Members are expected to serve as ambassadors for Shooting Touch (increasing awareness about ST’s mission through their own personal and professional networks) and are tasked with reaching an annual fundraising goal.

Current Emerging Leaders Board members include rising young professionals working in sport, health, education, philanthropy, and business. These individuals meet quarterly to network, build community, meet with and learn from Shooting Touch staff and Board of Directors, and develop fundraising strategies to benefit Shooting Touch’s work in Boston and Rwanda. ELB members also have opportunities to engage with ST programming, attend events, basketball clinics, and fundraisers, including the annual Shooting Touch Gala in Boston.
