Boys & Girls Clubs of Hartford Recognizes Black Leaders
Celebrating the Contributions of Today's Leaders During Black History Month.
To celebrate Black History Month, Boys & Girls Clubs of Hartford is recognizing the contributions of Black leaders shaping our Clubs and communities.
Tomeka Cole is the organization’s Vice President of Development and Communications. She’s a Hartford native and has dedicated more than 20 years to youth development, philanthropy and community impact. Her fundraising and strategic communication leadership plays a critical role in ensuring that every child who walks through our doors has access to opportunities that can uplift and empower them.
One person who understands the importance of that access is Joseph Bumpers, III. He’s a former Club kid who now helps lead Boys & Girls Clubs of Hartford’s operations team as the Director of Operations. As part of that role, Joe oversees the organization’s facilities ensuring all members have a safe and vibrant place to go after school. Joe has spent more than 20 years with the organization, holding numerous leadership roles, but always continuing to put kids first.
At Boys & Girls Clubs of Hartford every day is an opportunity to celebrate Black history, leadership and excellence.
