Spotlight
Cameron Nelson
Executive Director
Cameron Nelson joined ASAS Chicago as Executive Director after many years spent working in professional sports and fundraising. Her belief that “all kids are our kids” drives her work to ensure Chicago All-Stars have the same opportunities as those with proper resources. A Tennessean by birth, she now calls Chicago home with her husband, Paris, but you can bet she’ll be cheering on her Tennessee Vols every Saturday in the Fall.
