MISSION & VISION
We Are Women Leaders
Organizations thrive when women are in leadership roles. Women bring collaboration, trust, and innovation to leadership, which increases productivity and drives positive business results.
Throughout our history, Women Leaders in Sports has been steadfast in our commitment to helping women advance by creating meaningful opportunities to cultivate the skills, confidence and connections that drive career growth and leadership success.
With support from our Champions for Change, we’re committed to empowering the women shaping the sports industry today – and developing those who will lead it to a better tomorrow.
Our Mission
To build the most powerful community of leaders working in sports – fueling the growth, performance and success of women at every stage of their careers.
We ensure that no woman’s talent is overlooked, no ambition unsupported, and no door is left closed
Our Women of Color Commitment, presented by adidas, strives to create more inclusive communities of excellence. This intentional effort aims to expand access, elevate visibility, and break down systemic barriers for women of color in sports.
Our Impact
We empower women working in sports to excel and advance at every stage of their careers through our five-pillar leadership development framework: Performance, Presence, Influence, Mindset, and Career Strategy. These key competencies are delivered through the intersection of our influential network, focused experiences, curated resources, and high-impact events.
When a woman rises into leadership in sport, she changes more than her own career trajectory she changes hiring practices, team culture, decision-making rooms, and the aspirations of the young women watching.
Our work increases representation and supports a future where leadership in sport reflects the strength, intelligence, and diversity of the women who power it.
