I’m so official all I need is a… 2023 was the year of women’s sports no matter the industry, but we’re truly just scratching the surface as we work toward equality on the court, in the locker room on the field, and wherever our attendance is considered a question. As a professional sports official, and former athlete, the lens is clear, and although we’ve made great progress, there’s more work to be done. But no one can deny, that our presence is a present. Through heightened viewership, NIL deals, and the opportunities for women to no longer press pause on our personality, the sky is the limit; one might ask how to support. You don’t have to be a sports guru to lean into the idea that change can be good, and it affects the little girls, the teens, the young adults, and those who look to us as the game changers, the role models and the groundbreakers. Attendee results:

• Learn about the history and lack of equality in an industry designed for men.
• Understand the why times are changing and why it’s important to buy in.
• Determine the difference between the experience of a coach versus player versus official.
• Develop an understanding of the current pressures women face in the age of social media, instant gratification and constant trends.
