New York, NY (January 22, 2026) – The Women’s Sports Foundation (WSF®) announces the addition of new members and leaders of its Board of Trustees including the appointment of Swin Cash, Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer, as Board President, and new Board of Trustees members: Diana Flores, global flag football champion, two-time gold medalist, Captain of the Mexican Flag Football team and NFL and IFAF ambassador; Molly Levinson, founder and CEO of TLG, one of the top strategic communications and stakeholder engagement advisory firms in the U.S.; and Sloane Stephens, Grand Slam champion, Olympian, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. Additionally, current Trustee Stacey Allaster, Chief Executive of Professional Tennis for the USTA, has been named Board Chair-Elect.
These appointments bring together leaders across professional sports, business, and media at a pivotal moment for girls’ and women’s sports. Together they strengthen WSF’s ability to expand participation, advance opportunity, and drive lasting change for girls and women at every level of play.
For more than 50 years, WSF has worked to break barriers to access and opportunity in sport. WSF research proves that sports are more than just games; sports are transformative tools to build stronger leaders, healthier communities and more equitable societies. The Foundation connects the science of why sports matter to the systems that make access possible.
“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. Our research is clear: sport participation builds confidence, teamwork, resilience, and lifelong health. But opportunities are still far from equal. That is why WSF remains steadfast in our mission to ensure every girl and woman has the chance to play, compete, and lead.”
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.”
