This is at least the third partnership announced this off-season. RC Buford et al putting in the work after new ownership group was settled. We'll see how or whether this one has a direct connection to the Spurs:

Additions behind the scenes that will have community impact. We'll see whether or how this trickles down to the Spurs:

SS&E said the new role was part of its commitment to “elevate its work around community and societal impact.” Social justice has gained an increasing emphasis within the NBA.
The announcement comes on the heels of SS&E joining 11 other local corporations in creating a new partnership called the Corporate Partners for Racial Equity, which among other initiatives has collectively pledged $13.8 million toward “initiatives for underserved people.”
I don’t know that we know where this goes,” said Spurs CEO RC Buford. “As an organization, we’re excited for Dr. Allen to come challenge us to think differently.”
Allen said the work will involve meeting with executives, nonprofit organizations, schools and universities, fans, and community members.
“For me, the work that the chief impact officer does is activating on our impact,” she said. “It’s ensuring that we follow through on our social responsibility requirements we have as a company.”
This year SS&E also created two other new executive positions: vice president of content and distribution, for which it hired former Turner Sports and Bleacher Report executive Morgan Dewan; and vice president of global partnerships, for which it hired former Twitch executive Katrina Palanca.
