Summary: Dr. Ashley Baker founded the Women in Sports Forum in 2015 and hosted the inaugural event in Detroit a year later. The second Women in Sports Forum was held in New Orleans in February this year and will return to Detroit in 2019. Ashley explains that having worked in college athletics for 15 years she determined that there were not many developmental programs or conferences that young women had access to learn about the sport’s industry and network with others. She tells Chris Stafford that she wishes this was something that was around when she began her career and now wants to give back to the sport so young women will have resources and programs to help them choose their pathway.
