Board of Directors

WHO WE ARE

The Board of Directors provides direction, strategic planning, financial support, and leadership to ensure the success of the Club’s programs. These ladies and gentlemen are leading executives in the St. Louis area who contribute a wide array of expertise to the organization. In fact, four Board members are former club members themselves. Every Board member helps us to fulfill our mission of enabling youth in the St. Louis metropolitan area, especially those who need us most, to realize their physical, intellectual, and emotional potential.
