Farewell Address
Steven N. Branch
CEO - OpportuniTee Golf Classic
I am a former Division I athlete, Big 4 public accountant, and workforce development entrepreneur committed to cultivating the next generation of management talent. My work focuses on closing opportunity gaps—not talent gaps—by increasing access to mentorship, networks, and career‑advancing experiences for underrepresented professionals.
Golf sits at the intersection of competition, strategy, and relationship‑building, making it a powerful yet overlooked driver of professional growth. I believe that expanding access to the game expands access to opportunity—and ultimately, leadership itself.
