GETTING WOMEN OFF THE SIDELINES
The call for more representation in leadership roles
|
|
|
Women have been underrepresented in leadership roles, but this is not due to a lack of qualifications. We're seeing an evolution for women and sport but still have a long road ahead for gender equity. One day we will no longer celebrate the 'firsts' and will remember those who paved the way for equal opportunity. While we've definitely missed more of these stories to share, here are some that have stood out recently in different professional leagues:
- Emilie Castonguay was named the first female assistant general manager in Vancouver Canucks history. She is the second woman to hold the title in NHL history.
- Rachel Balkovec was named the first female manager in affiliated professional baseball. She is taking over the Tampa Tarpons, the New York Yankees' low-A affiliate in the Florida State League.
- In the WNBA, Becky Hammon was named head coach of the Los Vegas Aces.
- Christine Sinclair was honoured with The Best FIFA Special Award, presented during FIFA’s annual awards ceremony, for her many years of excellence and her all-time goal-scoring record. 188 goals makes her the top international scorer among women and men.
