The Women’s Sports Foundation (WSF) announced new members and leaders of its Board of Trustees, including the appointment of Swin Cash, a Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer, as board president, and three new Board of Trustees members, including Diana Flore, Molly Levinson and Sloane Stephens.
Flores is a global flag football champion, two-time gold medalist, captain of the Mexican Flag Football team, and NFL and IFAF ambassador; Levinson is the founder and CEO of TLG, a strategic communications and stakeholder engagement advisory firm based in the U.S.; and Stephens is a Grand Slam champion, Olympian, entrepreneur, and philanthropist.
WSF said current trustee Stacey Allaster, chief executive of Professional Tennis for the USTA, has been named board chair elect.
“We are thrilled to have Swin step into the role of Foundation President and to welcome Diana, Molly and Sloane to our Board of Trustees, while elevating Stacey to chair-elect,” said WSF CEO Danette Leighton. “This powerful group understands what is at stake, and what is possible, when girls and women are given equal access to sport.”
As president, Cash will help amplify WSF’s voice across sports and culture, inspiring the next generation, and building new connections to further the Foundation’s mission. She succeeds outgoing president Scout Bassett, a Paralympian and world record holder in Track & Field.
“The Women’s Sports Foundation has long been a force opening doors and expanding opportunities for girls and women in sports,” said Cash. “As president, I’m honored to build on that legacy by strengthening cultural and intergenerational connections and helping ensure the doors opened by our trailblazers remain wide for the next generation.”
