Board of Directors
Advisory Board Council


The highest initial priority was to create an alliance of supporters from both public and private sectors to form an advisory board. As planning meetings evolved, this board grew to over fifty talented individuals attracted to Starfinder's inspirational mission and philosophy. A major factor was that 75% of the expanded board have had children enrolled in the Starfinder programs. In order to better guide planning and implementation, five advisory board committees were created for these functions:
  • Strategic Planning

  • Financial Management

  • Marketing & Promotion

  • Program Development

  • Fundraising

"The energy and enthusiasm of Tony Williams, Allan Greaves and the Starfinder Foundation are like rays of bright, inspirational sunshine in a world full of high international tension and stress. The infectiously positive attitude of Tony makes a positive difference in the lives of the many young people. Starfinder's unique combination of high level soccer training, character development and academic emphasis provides young people with a chance to be better people, better students and better soccer players. The joy on the faces of the young people as they absorb and embrace the message of positive thinking and hard work are inspiring and heart warming. Everyone should have a chance to participate in this wonderful endeavor."
