Conshohocken, PA NXT is excited to announce a series of new hires and revamped leadership structure designed to continue to strengthen all aspects of its Girls Lacrosse offerings.

First, NXT is proud to announce that Candace Taglianetti Bossell has been promoted to Vice-President, Girls Lacrosse Education. In her new role, Candace will oversee all aspects of NXT’s girls lacrosse educational offerings, including NXT’s 19 girls field and box club teams. Candace has spent the last several years focusing on building NXT’s club program into one of the nation’s strongest, and will continue to do so in her new role.

To assist Candace, NXT can announce the full-time hire of Laurie Tortorelli (“Tort”) DeLuca as NXT Girls Education Director. DeLuca had previously been serving as NXT LC’s Youth Coordinator in a part-time capacity. In this new role, she will focus on developing NXT’s youth and middle school club teams and training programs.
