BOSTON, MA – The Board of Directors of NamaStay Sober is proud to announce the appointment of Joe Annotti as its new Board President. Annotti, a long-time consulting industry executive and founder of the mission-driven athletic and leisurewear brand Skull & Bogeys Golf Company, brings a powerful combination of entrepreneurial acumen and a deeply personal commitment to addiction recovery to the organization.
“It has been a profound privilege to serve as Board President, and I am thrilled to pass the torch to Joe,” said Nicoletta Longo, the founder of NamaStay Sober and departing Board President. “Joe represents the heart of our mission—turning personal challenges into community strength. His unwavering commitment to the recovery community, demonstrated through his own journey and the generous partnership of Skull & Bogeys, makes him the perfect leader to guide NamaStay Sober forward.”
Annotti’s appointment marks a natural evolution of his ongoing dedication to the recovery community. Having battled addiction personally, Annotti founded Skull & Bogeys with a pledge to donate 25% of the company’s profits directly to addiction recovery and mental health initiatives. His brand was built not just on high-quality performance apparel, but on the philosophy of transforming “past pain into a present mission.”
“I am honored to step into the role of Board President for an organization that has been instrumental in my own journey and the journeys of so many others,” said Annotti. “Resilience isn’t about avoiding failure; it’s about getting back up after you’ve been knocked down. NamaStay Sober aids those in recovery by reconnecting their bodies and minds, and I look forward to expanding our reach and helping more people find that connection.”
As Board President, Annotti will leverage his business expertise and community connections to further NamaStay Sober’s mission of aiding those in recovery through affordable yoga, fitness, meditation, and wellness-focused community events. His unique perspective draws parallels between the discipline of golf—”an incredible test of presence”—and the day-to-day focus required in recovery.
