A prominent Washington attorney, Tremaglio will be retiring from
her current role as managing principal of Deloitte's Greater
Washington practice to focus on her NBPA duties. She has served
as a consultant for the NBPA for a decade.
"I've worked with some of the brightest business and legal minds
in the world," Tremaglio said in a statement. "I've broken
barriers, challenged misperceptions, and much like the
professional athletes I've supported over the years, I have
defied the odds. I'm incredibly grateful and passionate about
this opportunity to serve the players and positively contribute
to the role that the NBPA will play in the future of basketball,
both on and off the court."
Tremaglio will replace Michele Roberts, who is retiring at the
end of the year after serving as executive director since 2014.
"Tamika has been by our side for many years, advising us on the
best practices and policies needed for our organization to
operate more like a successful business," NBPA president CJ
McCollum said in a statement. McCollum was just named to his new
role in August, replacing Chris Paul.
"Given Michele's strong leadership and guidance that have
brought us to where we are today," McCollum continued, "we were
looking for a next-generation leader, who has the skills,
vision, and credibility to pick up where Michele will leave off
and to elevate our union to even greater heights."
Tremaglio previously worked on the NBPA's internal business and
compliance practices and participating in the negotiation of the
WNBA's current collective bargaining agreement in 2019.
"Tamika will be an excellent executive director for the NBPA,"
Roberts said in a statement. "I have spent considerable time
working with her over the past several years and I know she
cares deeply about the players and wants the best for them, just
as I do. I'm looking forward to retirement, but take solace in
knowing the NBPA is in extremely capable hands."
