CONEJO VALLEY — Greg Kovacs joins the Boys & Girls Club with a lifelong passion for helping children and teens achieve their true personal and academic potential. Throughout his career, Greg has had the great fortune and opportunity to design, develop, and lead educational nonprofit organizations, schools, and camp programs towards great success.
He has dedicated more than two decades of his life, helping our nation’s youth find safe and engaging environments, to provide the opportunities needed to grow and achieve personal success. He has gained experience in both traditional school settings and in less formal outdoor experiential education learning environments.
For Greg, the BGCGCV opportunity is an honor – “I am thrilled, humbled, and honored to have been selected to lead the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Conejo Valley and to join such a committed and supportive team. The mission of the Boys and Girls Club is incredibly important and serves such a vital need in our community. To have the opportunity to directly impact the lives of so many children in the Conejo Valley is truly exciting. I look forward to working with businesses, organizations, and other partners around the area to inspire and enable all young people to reach their full potential.”
Interim CEO Mark Bagaason is excited after spending time with Greg, saying “This organization and its mission are deeply important to me. Greg embodies everything it stands for and I have complete faith that he will guide it to further success.” Board Chairman David Heroux says “Greg was chosen after a long vetting process and we have every confidence that he will make a positive impact on the organization and on our community.”
Greg earned his M.B.A. from the University of Southern California, USC, and his B.A. from the University of California, Irvine. When he is not focused on work, Greg enjoys spending time with his wife of 27 years, (Jennifer), and his two daughters, (Savannah & Makenna). He is also an avid cyclist, finding time to enjoy his passion, riding throughout Los Angeles, and the California coast.
