  • The WNBA, for example, reflects core values of connection, social justice and excitement by strategically engaging with their basketball community.

Community and collaboration

  • Research shows that having space where sport leaders and organizations can share knowledge, discuss triumphs and roadblocks and explore new ideas fosters long-term sustainability and innovation.
  • Within the community of practice, these organizations need to also authentically hire and train women for senior leadership positions.
  • There is potential for collaboration that is unmatched in the history of sport.
