Two New Members to Join Foundation's Board of Directors Nina Meyers, The Meyers Group Christopher Harris, Foxxtecca/African American Automotive Association

Atlanta, GA (Feb. 3) – Nina Meyers, CEO and lead lobbyist for The Meyers Group, and Christopher Harris, co-founder and principal of Foxxtecca and the African American Automotive Association, have joined the board of directors for STEAM Sports Foundation, a leading non-profit that provides career development opportunities in motorsports and automotive engineering for undergraduate college students.

“Nina and Chris are fantastic additions to our board," said Bob Dickinson, foundation founder and executive director. "In addition to having incredible credentials within the automotive and racing space, each brings an incomparable layer of events, entertainment, and financial acumen into an ever-changing cultural climate filled with technology and innovation.”

Meyers began her finance career at Goldman Sachs as an equity research analyst, covering multi-industry conglomerates.. She continued her work as the lead Growth Equity investor for Goldman’s One Million Black Women initiative, where she deployed nearly $100 million in capital, earning her a spot on the 2024 Forbes Under 30 list. 

As leader of The Meyers Group, a family-founded government relations firm, she also oversees a full-service capital advisory practice, “The Meyers Group Capital,” with offices in New York and Washington, D.C.. The firm supports high-growth entrepreneurs, entertainers, athletes, and high-net-worth individuals. 

Beyond the boardroom, the Spelman College graduate is committed to creating the kind of success she has had to fight for with a perspective that is shaped by cultural awareness, sports, fashion, and an upbringing surrounded by Black entrepreneurs and HBCU graduates.

In addition to STEAM Sports Foundation, she also sits on the corporate advisory board of RaiseFashion and is a founding board member of HBCU.vc, a non-profit that prepares the next generation of investors and leaders in the technology and startup eco system. Her lifelong passion of Formula 1 racing has inspired the launch of Full Throttle, an event series that focuses on creative, inclusive, and accessible spaces that bridge business and motorsports.

“In a world where there is so much uncertainty, it is a joy to meet like minded-people along the way. I am thrilled to join the STEAM Sports board to combine my passion for Formula One with my experience across finance and entrepreneurship.”

Harris is a seasoned executive and visionary leader with over a decade of experience driving innovation and inclusivity within the motorsports and mobility industries. As the Founder of the African American Automotive Association (AAAA), Christopher has pioneered efforts to bridge the diversity gap in automotive infrastructure, establishing the organization’s inaugural Hall of Fame and creating critical pipelines for underserved communities.

His entrepreneurial spirit is further evidenced through Foxxtecca, a media and mobility company he co-founded to merge culture, technology, and education. Under his leadership, Foxxtecca has become a catalyst for change, notably managing and sponsoring trailblazing athletes like Dystany Spurlock and integrating DEI initiatives into premier industry events like the SEMA Show for the first time in its 67-year history.

Beyond his advocacy, Christopher is a recognized expert in motorsports operations and sanctioning. He founded the International Roll Racing Association (IRRA) and has held senior leadership roles at major facilities, including Palm Beach International Raceway and Memphis International Raceway. Christopher continues to shape the future of mobility by championing a culture of excellence that is inclusive of all voices.

“Over the years, it’s been a privilege to watch Bob’s impact on our industry and to have had the opportunity to work alongside him. I’m honored to join the STEAM Sports Foundation board and to stand with him in an official capacity as we work together to build a more diverse and inclusive industry.”
