This June, we are excited to add seven new members to our Board of Directors. As many of our supporters and fans may know, DC SCORES is in the midst of an aggressive growth plan that is pushing us to think more efficiently and creatively about program reach, quality, and evaluation. Additionally, growth takes an increased investment of time, strategy, money, and effort of multiple stakeholders. This board expansion and these board members, specifically, will enable us to continue to grow in smart, sustainable, and creative ways. Combined with our existing invested board members, DC SCORES is poised to become an anchor youth-serving organization for thousands of students in the District.
Meet the new board members below. You can view the full DC SCORES Board of Directors list on our website.
Mr. Barton Bishop

I'm excited to be joining the board of DC SCORES because … “I love their mission. The idea of helping kids to experience and have access to the arts, athletics, and academics that they never would have had is quite an awesome idea and something of which I am honored to be a part. If I can do something to just help one more kid live a full and enriched life, then I will consider my time a success.”

Mr. Paul Jackson
Principal, JCG Incorporated
I'm excited to be joining the board of DC SCORES because … “Neither education, sport nor the arts -- critical building blocks of growing up -- should be a luxury to our youth. Athletics were an important part of my childhood, from playing baseball and tennis to learning to scuba dive and rock climb. I played a lot of sports, some well, some not so much, but at least I had the opportunities. It was the same with the arts, where I played the piano and saxophone through my college years. I learned so many life lessons along the way. I can only imagine how different my childhood and young adulthood would have been if I hadn't had these opportunities. So I'm humbled to join DC SCORES to help promote learning and well-being in our community."
