Kathy Behrens, a prominent figure in developing NBA Cares, is set to leave the NBA league office after a 26-year career.

Rochester, NY, October 27, 2026 —
Kathy Behrens is set to leave the NBA league office after a 26-year career, according to the information provided. Behrens was a prominent figure in developing NBA Cares, the summary said.
The available information does not specify when Behrens will leave, why she is departing, or whether she plans to take another role. It also does not detail her responsibilities at the league office or describe particular projects connected to her work on NBA Cares.
Her departure marks the end of a lengthy tenure at the league office. The information provided identifies her association with developing NBA Cares as a notable part of that career, but does not offer further details about the initiative’s development or Behrens’s specific contributions.
No statement from Behrens or the NBA was included in the available summary. The circumstances surrounding the departure, including whether the league has announced a successor or other transition arrangements, were not provided. Those details therefore remain unclear.
For now, the confirmed information is limited to Behrens’s expected departure, her 26 years at the NBA league office and her role as a prominent figure in developing NBA Cares. Further information about the timing and next steps was not included.
