Olympic Committee president

to speak at symposium
U.S. Olympic Committee President Sandra Baldwin will be the keynote speaker at the Warsaw Sports Marketing Center’s 7th annual Women in Sports Business Symposium, “The Game has Changed.” The symposium kicks off at 7 p.m. today in the EMU Ballroom.
Baldwin is speaking on “Promoting Women in Sports Worldwide” and on global perspectives on women in athletics and sports business.
Representatives from the Portland Trail Blazers, Coca-Cola, the WNBA and Adidas are among other featured speakers.
Following the speakers will be a networking reception at 8:30 p.m. in the Gerlinger Lounge. There is no charge to attend the events in the Ballroom, but admission to the reception is $15.
The symposium continues Friday with several discussion panels in the ballroom. The day begins with the “Measuring Success: Women’s Professional Sports” panel discussion at 9 a.m. The discussion centers on how the media judge success in women’s professional sports, 2002 symposium Co-Chairwoman Serena Lusk said.
Many of the talks will focus on how gender plays a role in the working world.
“All discussions will also include information on how these women advanced in a mostly male-dominated sports industry,” Lusk said.
The event is run entirely by students in the Warsaw Sports Marketing Center in the Charles H. Lundquist College of Business.
