Beth
Kungel Borck
Executive Director ~ CEO
Beth Kungel Borck is excited, and honored, to join ASCF as the Executive Director. A native of Louisiana, Beth came to Houston to join the Honors College at University of Houston and graduated with degrees in both Theatre and Sociology. She went on to receive her MBA at UNC. As a seasoned professional with over 25 years’ experience in sales, marketing, event planning, board management and fundraising I am excited to further the mission of this great organization. Having been touched by cancer with both friends and family, I understand the critical role ASCF plays in the wellbeing of cancer families. Strategic planning, conflict mitigation/resolution, fundraising, board management, and community building energize me. I look forward to serving in this role. When not on campus at ASCF, Beth can be found spending time with her Husband of 20 years & two amazing teens. When not cheering at a soccer game we can be found supporting the marching band. In my free time I love traveling, gardening, and cooking.
