Clubs, Glenn coordinated the opening of more than 2,600 new Clubs and an increase in the overall effectiveness of Clubs nationwide and on military installations across the world.

Prior to serving at BGCA, Glenn served for twenty-one (21) years as the President and Chief Operating Officer of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Tampa Bay in Florida. The organization consisted of three units when he began his executive career in Tampa and he grew it to 16 sites before assuming his role with BGCA in 1997.
