Former Mayor Rawlings-Blake ready to ‘amplify the work’ of NBPA Foundation

Stephanie Rawlings-Blake may be the most overqualified person to take the reins of a sports union’s philanthropic arm, but as the new executive director of the National Basketball Players Association Foundation, she has ambitious plans. Rawlings-Blake served as mayor of Baltimore from 2010 to 2016. She was also the president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, and built a network of relationships with mayors of cities all over the country, something that she can tap into in her new job.
