Future Legends elects new board of directors

The Future Legends Scholar Program, which has provided financial and mentoring support to deserving scholars since 2012, recently announced its new board of directors and their continuing commitment to the support of deserving college-bound students, according to a news release.

From the sun-drenched fairways of the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club, the Future Legends Scholar Program was an idea that emerged as a tribute to the enduring legacy of former head golf pro Chuck Courtney. It began as a heartfelt homage to Courtney’s belief in educating young people and developed into a worthy initiative. Fueled by the unwavering dedication and generosity of many RSF residents, this program continues to shape young lives, the news release stated.

Don Carter has been tapped to lead Future Legends into its next generation. Ushering in a dynamic chapter of leadership and vision for the organization, Carter has assembled a robust board of directors to help him fulfill this new role. The dedicated group of individuals brings a wealth of experience, passion, and commitment to the mission of empowering Future Legends Scholars, both current and future, towards success as Future Legends in their own right.

As the Future Legends organization continues to grow and evolve, the new board will play a pivotal role in guiding strategic initiatives, expanding outreach, and ensuring the continued success of its scholars.

Continuing board members, Chuck Courtney, Greg Jackey and Stacie Barba, are now joined by Mick Marks, Chris Lonergan, Tim Fox, Chuck Nagy, Greg Zimmer, and Laura Kreiss.Future Legends is “excited to welcome these leaders and looks forward to the impact they will make in shaping the future of our program. At Future Legends, we hope that the Greater Rancho Santa Fe community will continue to support our Mission and Vision in providing academic, personal, and professional encouragement to deserving Scholars,” the news release stated.

Future Legends is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization based in Rancho Santa Fe. Since 2012, Future Legends has dedicated itself to providing financial support, mentorship, and opportunity to deserving students desirous of attaining a college education on their road to success.

In addition to academic support, Future Legends’ goal is to convey personal empowerment to its scholars, with an emphasis on life skills and values. The Scholar Program is particularly exceptional since student grant awards are available for renewal for the entire educational life of the student, regardless of the degree pursued: whether bachelor’s, master’s, or doctorate.

The program sponsors scholars studying a wide range of majors including biochemistry, chemistry, computer sciences, education, pre-med, public health, psychology, and law at colleges and universities throughout the country, according to the news release.
