Stacey Allaster and Sloane Stephens named to the Women's Sports Foundation board

As president, Cash takes on a mission-driven role, helping to amplify WSF’s voice across sports and culture, inspire the next generation, and build new connections that further the foundation’s impact. She succeeds outgoing president Scout Bassett, Paralympian and world record holder in track & field. Flores, Levinson, and Stephens join the WSF Board of Trustees– a cross-sector group of leaders from professional sports, teams and leagues, media, business and academia—united by a shared commitment to advancing the health, societal and economic benefits of sport participation for all girls and women.

“The Women’s Sports Foundation has long been a force opening doors and expanding opportunity 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.”
