Team

The Executive Committee of the John P. Connors Memorial Fund is comprised of John’s family members, along with many peers and friends from Scituate, BC High, WPI, and the US Navy SEAL Teams. We all knew John in a different capacity, but what binds us to this mission is our knowledge that John was the best of all of us to a person. For over 30 years, there is a large hole in the hearts of the people who John touched as a son, brother, classmate, friend, and teammate. We have assembled a world-class supporting cast of advisors who span the senior ranks of the US military as Officers, corporate CEOs, leaders in academia, and peers of John’s whose support is vital to telling the story of a scholar and athlete who left a trail of excellence for all of us to admire and emulate. Our group is a true “Team of Teams” paying homage to the book of the same title by General Stanley McChrystal, USA (Ret).
