Today, we celebrate the end of an era. ❤️🏀
For 51 incredible years, Connie Schwartz has been a cornerstone of the Edmonton Basketball Association.
Connie joined the EBA as Treasurer in 1975 and became Executive Director in 1983. What followed was more than four decades of dedication, leadership, and an unwavering commitment to this league and the basketball community.
For so many of us, Connie has simply always been here.
She has answered the emails, solved the problems, balanced the budgets, coordinated the schedules, supported volunteers, helped teams, and worked countless evenings and weekends to make sure the league kept moving forward.
But her impact goes far beyond the work that happens behind the scenes.
Because of Connie, thousands of players have had the opportunity to compete, make lifelong friendships, stay active, and be part of something bigger than themselves.
Her legacy isn’t found only in schedules, score sheets, or board meetings. It’s in the culture of the EBA, the people who have been part of it, and the community she helped build over more than five decades.
Today marks the end of an era, but it is certainly not the end of Connie’s legacy. Every season, every game, and every new player who steps onto the court will continue to build upon the foundation she helped create.
Connie, thank you.
Thank you for your leadership.
Thank you for your dedication.
Thank you for your friendship.
And most importantly, thank you for 51 incredible years of service to the Edmonton Basketball Association.
Please join us in congratulating and celebrating Connie Schwartz on an extraordinary 51 years. 🏀❤️
We are incredibly grateful for everything you have given to the EBA.
