Introducing AEF’s New Sports Program Manager

AEF is thrilled to introduce Lily Gates-Tilles! She writes:

"I have recently joined the AEF team as the Sports Program Manager and am so excited to take on this role and support the fabulous Middle School Sports across Alameda Unified. I grew up in Los Angeles playing competitive soccer for nearly 15 years and even had the opportunity to coach in high school for a local rec team. I truly understand the importance of having the opportunity to be in a competitive sports league learning valuable life skills like teamwork, leadership, and dealing with disappointment, so I am grateful to be able to support this program for students.

Additionally, I have extensive experience in program management, working closely with schools across the Bay Area to provide mindful movement trainings and direct service classes to students, educators, and families.

I look forward to getting to know each of you in the coming weeks as we get the Track & Field season underway!"

Welcome Lily!
