Global multi-industry leaders are once again lining up with the Sport Integrity Global Alliance on a strong call to #embraceequity and promote Female Leadership in Sport.
SIGA is announcing today the addition of 20 new speakers to its line-up of industry leaders for the Summit on Female Leadership in Sport, which will be hosted by Mastercard in New York on March 7th.
The summit will provide attendees with a platform to share their experiences, exchange ideas, and connect with like-minded individuals, to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing women in leadership roles in sport – including good governance, female leadership in action, athlete activism, mentorship, youth development and protection, and commercialising women’s sport.
With live panels, keynote speeches, and one-on-one interviews, the Summit on Female Leadership in Sport aims to celebrate International Women’s Day and drive positive change through SIGA’s ongoing efforts, including the #SIGAWomen Global Mentorship Programme.
The new speakers include high-level executives from organizations such as Mastercard, MLB, Wilson Sporting Goods, TATA CS, M&T Bank, NWSL, Athletes Unlimited, Octagon, Under Armour, Yale Jackson Institute for Global Affairs, WSF, PeacePlayers US, and Girls4Tech, among others.
