The NBA will begin its search for a successor to Executive Director Michele Roberts.

Recognizing the importance of succession planning to ensure the continued success and growth of the NBPA, Roberts and the Executive Committee are focusing on a strategy for the Union’s future.

“For the past six years, I have greatly enjoyed and continue to enjoy leading the NBPA and am proud of all we have been able to accomplish,” Robert said. “When I agreed to a second contract as Executive Director, I made clear that I would not be seeking a third. The Executive Committee and I are committed to making certain my successor is thoroughly prepared to assume the position upon my departure from the NBPA and continue its sustained path for growth.”

Since being elected in 2014, Roberts has led the Union though significant change and created great value for NBA players through newly implemented programs designed to meet the needs of players both during and after their careers.

Roberts also led the NBPA through a successful round of Collective Bargaining Agreement negotiations. The Executive Committee is working with Dechert LLP and Heidrick & Struggles to identify and evaluate candidates.
