Celebrating one year of the Women’s Sport Collective
Hard to believe that it’s a year today that we held our first online event for the Women’s Sport Collective, following a 10 event pilot with 70 women in the sports sector in the summer of 2020.
Since then we’ve delivered 41 online networking events, webinars, workshops (& a book club!) for our membership which has grown to an extraordinary 3,180 women from 66 countries across the world.
I’d like to take a moment today to thank all those who have helped make this happen – especially my wonderful co-founder Kate Hannon
Huge thanks to Joanna Manning-Cooper Sian Parry & Amy Monkman at Sky Sports who backed the Women’s Sport Collective in March & have enabled us to keep membership & resources free to women at any stage of their career in sport.
Thanks also to John Bushell Richard Payne & Hannah Sprake at Sports Marketing Surveys whose research has helped us better understand the needs of our members & gather powerful testimonials a few of which are shown below.
We run the Collective as a not-for-profit venture, so we’re incredibly grateful to the women who have given their time to share their wisdom & expertise with others via our online events. They include: Chloe Walton ACMA, CPCC Radha Balani Radojka Miljevic Rowena Samarasinhe Sue Storey Tammy Parlour MBE Zahra Khamisa Stacey Copeland Catherine Paynter was Spencer Emma Ross Baz Moffat Anna Kessel MBE Susie Petruccelli Josephine Perry Janine Mostyn Marilyn Okoro OLY Lizzy Yarnold Katherine Copeland Jes Bailey Samantha Kinghorn Ellen Keane Sangy (Sangeetha) Theivendra Shruti Saujani Dr Karen Llewellyn Hannah Wilkes Steph Tranter
Finally thanks to all our members. We love meeting you all online & engaging with you in the LinkedIn group.
We have some really exciting future plans for the Women’s Sport Collective in 2022 and beyond & look forward to sharing more with you soon.
The Women’s Sport Collective is free for any women working in the sports sector so please spread the word & encourage your female colleagues to join us here: https://lnkd.in/de6SMQA
