President and Chief Operating Officer, Mid-Atlantic Sports Network
For more than two decades, John Angelos has led the management team for
Major League Baseball's Baltimore Orioles as Chief Operating Officer and
Executive Vice President and for the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN) as
President and Chief Operating Officer. Angelos steers the day-to-day business
operations of the franchise and team-owned network, including multimedia
rights negotiation; television network management and distribution; Camden
Yards and Sarasota sports facility development, public-private partnership, and
design; comparative league and labor policy economics oversight, and all entertainment, marketing, sales,
promotion, and day to day management of the company's sports franchise, facilities, and media platforms.
Widely-recognized as a sports and entertainment industry expert, Angelos frequently participates as a panelist
before industry conferences and as a guest lecturer at university and college sports and entertainment
business management programs. He has been a featured panelist at London's Leaders in Sports Summit and at
the Bloomberg Sports Media Conference; is a member of the Global Sports Summit; served as past board
member of the Jim McKay Maryland Million; and has appeared as a guest expert on a variety of national media
networks, including CBS, PBS, MSNBC, Fox, Rogers, Bloomberg Television and Bloomberg Radio, as well as
many others.
Over the past ten years, Angelos has also been extensively involved with the creation, start-up launch, and
day-to-day business operation of the regional sports television network MASN. Under his leadership, MASN
launched as a full-time, 24-hour, year-round sports network in 2005 and is now available to more than six
million households reaching more than 18 million viewers throughout a seven-state area from Pennsylvania
through North Carolina. While securing carriage agreements with several dozen cable and satellite operators
throughout MASN's television territory, Angelos recruited a high-profile team of on-air talent, television
production staff, and an executive management group and oversaw a variety of award-winning, cutting-edge
programming and production initiatives. In addition, Angelos led the development of a team-operated, in-

In 2011, Angelos concluded his leadership of a seven-year project to develop a state-of-the- art Ballpark, year-
round athletic training complex, and corporate home for the Orioles in Sarasota, Florida by negotiating a
public-private partnership between the Orioles, the state of Florida, and Sarasota County. Angelos secured
$31.2 million in public funding from the state and county used to design and build the project. Angelos worked
with officials throughout the state to link the Orioles Mid-Atlantic regional marketing base with the Greater
Sarasota area. The state of Florida and Sarasota County recently reported that in 2015 this unique private-
public partnership with the Orioles has generated over $80 million in annual tourism-based economic impact
for local taxpayers.
On an international front, Angelos was a representative of the Orioles franchise in the discussions between the
Orioles, the government of Cuba, and the United States government that culminated in the Orioles becoming
the first American professional sports team to play a Cuban opponent and the first MLB team to play the
Cuban National Baseball Team, when the two teams met in an historic two-game series held at Oriole Park at
Camden Yards and in Havana, Cuba in March, 1999.

fitness to energy, enthusiasm, dedication, and compassion. She is a loyal Army,
Notre Dame, and Duke sports fan. Like her husband, she is simply proud to serve.
The service of members of the Armed Forces is evident in the uniform they wear
and in the attention they receive in the media. But behind the great and selfless
men and women who serve in uniform is an even greater and more selfless group
of family members who support them and serve in their own unique and special way. Deanie Dempsey is and
has been a remarkable representative of this group of dedicated Americans.
Deanie Dempsey was born and raised in New York. After graduating with a degree in education from LeMoyne
University in Syracuse, New York, she married Marty (her Burke High School sweetheart) and began her life as a

Chris and daughter-in-law Julie; Luke, Braden, and David by Caitlin and son-in-law Shane; and Hunter, Alexander,
and Samuel by Megan and son-in-law Kory.
After spending several decades of service in support of just the Army, Deanie became a champion for all of the

in support of military families, coached and mentored military spouses of all Services, participated in dozens of

Elizabeth Thompson
Chief Executive Officer, C-Change
Elizabeth Thompson, is well known for her collaborative work in the cancer
space. While her work and contributions to change the research, political and
patient support landscapes stand on their own merits, she is quick to highlight
that the she has been humbled and honored to serve with and make those
accomplishments because of the tremendous efforts of thoughtful and generous
board members, brilliant staff, and engaged and committed volunteers to make
an extraordinary difference in the lives of those diagnosed with and living with
cancer in 50 countries around the world.
After transitioning to philanthropy management from a successful career in health and medical publishing,
Thompson quickly earned a reputation as a progressive advocate within the cancer community. She led efforts
to establish two organizations, the Dr. Susan Love Breast Cancer Research Foundation, and the Colorectal
Cancer Coalition, both of which focused on expanding their research portfolios and utilizing patient advocacy
to coalesce around a national agenda. She made a tremendous impact on the nation's investment in
pancreatic cancer by establishing the National Action Plan on Pancreatic Cancer while serving at the Pancreatic

responsible for setting strategy and execution of the organization's $450M investment in mission programs
spanning research, advocacy and policy, community health and education, and global health. Her ability to get
the strategic issues organizations face and to galvanize action for change, put her in the seat as a transitional
CEO to work with the Board, staff and volunteers to re-think and re-energize the Lymphoma Research
Foundation, evolving their grassroots base and developing a more dynamic and integrated program offering.
Today, as the CEO of C-Change, a member-driven organization focused on strategic issues in cancer, convening
thought leaders to drive change, Thompson is more optimistic than ever before about the exciting advances in
science and the opportunities to bring together the best and brightest to translate those discoveries to real
patient outcomes.
