During the three years he spent as Chair of Tennis Canada, he was responsible for revamping the entire Development Program and for opening training centres in Montreal and Toronto. In 2009 Jack became the first Canadian to be elected to the International Tennis Federation board of directors and he was re-elected in 2011.
A partner at Halifax law firm McInnes Cooper, Jack is a director of the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, Rhode Island, while continuing to serve as a board member and vice-chair of Tennis Canada.
