Playing the Long Game: A Symposium on the Future of the sports Industry

Abstract

Studies show that having diverse hires in leadership positions leads to better organizational outcomes. However, like most industries, minority hires are still lagging in decision making roles throughout sports. This panel will discuss the benefits of diversity, how different organizations address this disparity, and the role diversity will play in the future of sports.
