Meet the Board of Directors Behind Access Mammoth

A passionate team powers Access Mammoth, committed to reimagining what’s possible in outdoor recreation. United by a shared belief in inclusion, adventure, and community, we bring together decades of expertise in adaptive sports, nonprofit leadership, and transformative programming.

We’re united by purpose, not just job titles. We’re guides, advocates, and partners in possibility—fierce supporters of access for everybody. Whether we’re planning a season of adaptive activities or shaping inclusive spaces like the upcoming Copeland Center, each team member is driven by the same mission: to create more access for more people, all year long.
