Steven James

Steven understands extensively how sport engenders not just physical attributes, but social skills, the desire to succeed in life and builds relationships and networks. His life as a pilot taught not just teamwork, but also to be a diplomat and a representative of an organisation. He brought these skills to Atlas, helping establish its work in Argentina.

Steve is honoured to take on the role of Trustee and Board Member of Atlas USA, eagerly getting involved with both governance, plus charitable project development and monitoring, as Atlas expand their North American reach, hoping to improve the lives of so many young men and women through the power of rugby.
