Steve Tompkins, chief of external affairs for the Suffolk County Sheriff's Department, has been appointed the new president of the Board of Directors for the Sportsmen's Tennis Club. Founded over 40 years ago, Sportsmen's is recognized nationally as a pioneer in using the sport of tennis to enhance the lives of urban youth.
As chief of external affairs, Tompkins oversees all community outreach efforts on behalf of the Sheriff's Department. The goal of his division is to develop healthy media relations, increase community accessibility and deliver the Sheriff's public safety message.
"Steve has more than 20 years of experience in communications, marketing, promotions, media production and public affairs, and it's his experience and leadership that attracted us to him," said Mercedes Tompkins, executive director of Sportsmen's. The two are not related. "He is a clear-minded professional who is very organized and approaches his duties with determination and fortitude."
"Sportsmen's mission of providing low-cost tennis to youth throughout Boston is something that is desperately needed at this time when alternatives to youth violence are [required]," according to Mr. Tompkins. "I see the trouble that youth and young adults get themselves into everyday at the Sheriff's Department and my affiliation with the club gives me the opportunity to work with kids to try and help them stay out of harm's way."
