Boys & Girls Clubs of Monmouth County (BGCM) is pleased to announce the election of a new board president and the addition of two new board members following its annual board meeting.
Adam Taylor has been elected as the new board president. Taylor, a resident of Fair Haven, is the founder and chief executive officer of Splendor Design in Red Bank. He previously served as a BGCM board officer and brings a deep understanding of the organization’s mission and strategic priorities.
“We are at a meaningful moment for this organization,” Taylor said. “BGCM is growing its reach and strengthening the everyday experience it provides for hundreds of young people across Monmouth County. I look forward to working alongside our dedicated board, staff, and community partners to build on that momentum and ensure every Club kid has what they need to thrive.”
Chief Executive Officer Douglas Eagles welcomed the new leadership. “Adam has been a committed advocate for our work and understands firsthand the difference a Club makes in a young person’s daily life,” Eagles said. “His leadership, combined with the energy of our full board, positions us well as we continue to grow and deepen our presence in the communities we serve.”
Jason Bradburn has been appointed vice president.
BGCM also welcomed two new members to its board of directors:
- Ann Szapor, Chief Nursing Officer of Monmouth Medical Center, brings expertise in healthcare and community health, aligning closely with BGCM’s whole-child approach to youth development.
- William Smalls of New York Life contributes a background in financial services and a strong understanding of the long-term investment required to support young people from youth through early adulthood. A former Club member who grew up at BGCM’s Asbury Park Unit, he brings firsthand knowledge of what the Club means in a young person’s life.
Eagles noted that the nonprofit operates Clubs in Asbury Park, Long Branch, Neptune, and Red Bank, providing consistent after-school and summer programming to young people throughout Monmouth County. “Our board members bring the perspective, networks, and commitment that help us show up for kids every single day,” he said. “That daily presence is what makes the Club different, allowing us to make meaningful long-term impact on the lives of Monmouth County kids.”
