Becoming the owner of a basketball franchise was never part of Iindsey Streeter's post-military career goals. But it fit in nicely with his game plan for life. "I like to make big-splash plays, I like to try to do things that will be impactful," said Streeter, who served 31 years in the Army. "And I like to involve others so that I can turn around and give the credit to the whole team, share the glory of whatever comes. For this veteran, owning a basketball team is about more than filling a stadium. "If s about making the community believe if s their actual team, and they're part of the effort too," he said. Streeter was already an all-star in the community outreach game before his latest professional sports venture. Since 2016, he has handled veterans programs for Bank of America, and currently acts as the company's senior vice president of global military affairs. The role has given him a major platform as a voice for hiring and supporting veterans in the workforce, and using military experience to improve the corporate world. He also serves as Georgia's ambassador for the U.S. Army Reserve, lobbying on service member quality of life issues.
