MoCo Sports Hall of Fame Seeks New Board Members

As The Montgomery County Sports Hall of Fame (MCSHF) continues to grow and evolve, the organization is now seeking new board members to help them achieve their goals.
MCSHF’s annual induction to its Hall of Fame is designed to be a vehicle to serve the youth of Montgomery County (MC) by providing opportunity, particularly for the underserved.

Applicants of diverse backgrounds, professions, genders, geography, abilities, ethnicities, and ages are encouraged to apply. We are looking for people with the following attributes, knowledge, and skills:
  • Sincere interest in sports, particularly at the local level.
  • Willingness to devote the time to a non-profit.
  • Fundraising.
  • Event planning.
  • Legal expertise.
  • Business expertise.
  • Social media, communications
  • Excellent contacts with members of the government and county sports community.
MCSHF is a 501(c)(3) organization. At this time, meetings are virtual on designated Thursdays at 7pm and become weekly as we get closer to events. You can apply by contacting Trish Heffelfinger, Board Chair at [email protected]. Applicants will be vetted by the board and invited to join based on a majority vote. Please visit our website at www.mcshf.org for more information about us.
