The Minnesota Timberwolves announced that team owner Glen Taylor has been re-elected Chairman of the NBA Board of Governors. Taylor was originally elected as Chairman on Oct. 23, 2008.
Along with membership on the Board of Governors, Taylor previously served as the Chairman of the NBA's Audit Committee and has been a member of the Advisory/Finance, Planning and Labor Relations Committees.
Taylor, a former Minnesota state senator, has served as the majority owner of the Timberwolves since March 23, 1995. During his ownership, Taylor has overseen eight playoff teams including the 2004 edition of the Wolves who advanced to the Western Conference Finals.
Taylor is Chairman of the Board of Taylor Corporation. Today Taylor Corporation, based in North Mankato, Minn., includes more than 80 subsidiaries providing business and personal communications products, technologies and marketing services. Other enterprises owned by Taylor are in securities, agricultural and medical fields.
Taylor's business savvy has been recognized by Corporate Report magazine, which honored him as its Executive of the Year in 1987, and the Sales and Marketing Executives of Minneapolis/St. Paul, who awarded him with their Sales Executive of the Year Award in 1999. He was also inducted into the Minnesota Hall of Fame by Twin Cities Monthly Magazine.
Through personal involvement, Taylor has remained active in many civic and charitable causes. Last preseason, Taylor and his Timberwolves players and coaches led an NBA Cares imitative, in partnership with the Starkey Hearing Foundation, to fit several hundred children with hearing aids during the team's training camp in Istanbul, Turkey. Taylor and his family have provided financial assistance and participated in other Starkey missions to Africa, Egypt and Central America.
