Former first daughter Barbara Bush tells AP about helping lead NBA’s social responsibility efforts

Barbara Bush never got to any of the NBA championship celebrations held at the White House when her grandfather was president of the United States. Never got to one when her father occupied the Oval Office, either. She got to the one held for Golden State earlier this year as an NBA employee. The former first daughter has very quietly worked for the NBA for the past year after connecting with the league during the pandemic on some health-related and social justice initiatives. The league has now announced that Bush was recently promoted to lead its social responsibility department, helping oversee initiatives surrounding racial justice, public service and more.
