Director of Operations & Outreach (Joined 2013)

Alicia Yanow is a lifelong lover of travel and soccer. Born in Australia, she’s since traveled extensively, exploring nearly 70 countries on six continents. Alicia's family moved to the US when she was five, settling in Southern California, where she began playing soccer in third grade. As a freshman in high school, thanks to Title 9, she joined her school’s first Varsity girl’s soccer team. Her passion for the Beautiful Game continues today through the Golden Gate Women’s Soccer League, where she plays and sits on the board of directors.

Alicia joined SCORES in 2013 as a volunteer for the Legacy Awards, bringing the organizational skills she’d honed as an events manager in the U.C. Berkeley Intercollegiate Athletic Department. That led to a regular position with SCORES, where today, she is part of the development team and works on events. “Inevitably something always goes wrong with a function as there are so many moving parts. The challenge, which I love, is how to make the event seem seamless so the guests or participants don’t know anything is amiss.”

Alicia earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Anthropology (specializing in Cultural Anthropology) at U.C. Berkeley. She founded Extraordinarily Organized, an event and organizational management business, which she also currently operates. In addition, Alicia coaches several teams with the SF Youth Soccer League and is a regular platelet donor.
