SUMMARY:From Service & Sport to the C-Suite: Women Leaders in Transition
DESCRIPTION:Days Hours Minutes		\nFrom Service & Sport to the C-Suite: Women Leaders in Transition\nWomen Business Collaborative invites you to an exclusive panel reception bringing together women athletes and women veterans as they transition into the next chapter of their leadership journeys—business\, entrepreneurship\, and corporate leadership. \nWomen athletes and veterans possess extraordinary leadership capabilities: discipline\, resilience\, strategic decision-making\, and the ability to perform under pressure. Yet\, too often\, these skills are undervalued or misunderstood in traditional hiring and advancement pathways. WBC is working to change that. \nThrough initiatives such as the Athlete Business Academy and Women Veterans Lead\, WBC is building structured pathways that translate high-performance experience into business leadership—connecting women to coaching\, career opportunities\, and corporate networks that accelerate their success. \nThis event will showcase the leadership stories of women athletes and veterans\, highlight the business case for investing in these talent pipelines\, and provide opportunities for companies and partners to engage directly in building the next generation of leaders. \nJoin us to learn how investing in these leaders strengthens organizations\, expands talent pipelines\, and drives a more inclusive and high-performing economy. \nMarch 9th\, 2026 | 12:30–2:00 ETPaul Hastings\, 2050 M St\, NWWashington DC\n					\n									Register\n					 \nSpeakers\n\nLori Reynolds\, Chief Executive Officer\, LEReynolds Group\nSally Roberts\, Co-Founder and CEO\, Wrestle Like A Girl; Board Member\, Hire Heroes USA\nMelissa Dawn Simkins\, CEO\, Velvet Suite and Founder\, Athleadership\nDr. Linda Singh\, CEO and President\, Kaleidoscope Effect\nMarycate Walsh\, Vice President\, External Affairs\, Monumental Sports and Entertainment\nModerator: Porche D.
