Women in Sport Leadership Workshop

Advancing women in sport leadership—across boards, coaching, officiating, and organizational roles—strengthens the entire sport system. Diverse leadership teams foster innovation, improve collaboration, and better reflect the needs of all participants.

Greater representation of women can help shift organizational culture, reduce tolerance of inequitable practices, and raise awareness of gender-based violence. Research shows that reaching at least 30% representation is key to realizing these benefits.

This workshop will help sport leaders understand where and why women’s leadership is improving and where they need to direct continued attention to develop, implement and sustain lasting change. They will learn about:

• The link between girls’ participation and women’s leadership
• The key drivers of and barriers to gender equity
• How to sustain progress and embedding inclusion

Diverse voices and representation are needed and crucial amongst boards, coaching and administration staff and volunteers.
