President's Corner
This month, on June 23rd we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Title IX, the 1972 federal civil rights law that prevented gender inequities and removed barriers for girls and women in education and sports. We have come a long way, but we still have a long way to go! Our community will unite and host an educational and inspirational Beyond Barriers - 50th Anniversary of Title IX celebratory event featuring keynote Mayor Jane Castor, Title IX Trailblazer Power Panelists, ESPN moderator and a sneak peek screening of '37 Words', ESPN Films' 4-part documentary series chronicling the hard-fought battle of equal rights in education and athletics. The event is FREE to attend and will take place at Amalie Arena from 6-7:30pm in partnership with Spectrum, ESPN's Fifty/50, Tampa Bay Sports Commission, Tampa Bay Lightning, Women in Cable Television (WICT) and WISE Tampa Bay. WISE Tampa Bay and WICT will co-host a members-only networking happy hour in advance of the Beyond Barriers program in Firestick Grill. We hope you can join us!
