Structure

The Hoopfest Team
Led by Executive Director Rick Steltenpohl and the Hoopfest Board of Directors, the staff and operating committee work all year long to organize the event. Once Spring rolls around many volunteers begin to generously donate their time and efforts. Ultimately around 3,000 people commit to lending a helping hand for the Hoopfest weekend. Hoopfest is truly a team effort.
