Leveling the Playing Field: Women in Basketball at Jackie Robinson Museum
Women's basketball and women in basketball are more powerful than ever after an explosive year in collegiate and WNBA basketball in 2024. Join us at the Jackie Robinson Museum to hear from an incredible panel of trailblazers who are defining the business of basketball; shaping the future of some of the sport's biggest teams; and creating space for girls and women as players, fans, analysts, and executives.

Featured speakers:

SHEILA JOHNSON, Partner, Monumental Sports and Entertainment; co-owner of Washington Mystics and Wizards

MELISSA PROCTOR, Chief Marketing Officer, Atlanta Hawks and State Farm Arena

SHANA STEPHENSON, Chief Brand Officer, New York Liberty

KHRISTINA WILLIAMS, Host of iHeartMedia's In Case You Missed It with Khristina Williams podcast; founder, Girls Talk Sports TV
