From unlearning diet culture and confidence-building workshops to dynamic networking roundtables and sports outings, members connected through shared passions and meaningful conversations. Signature events honored Women’s History Month and DEI initiatives, alongside social celebrations and community service, highlighting a supportive and vibrant network dedicated to empowering women in sports and beyond.

    2022 Events

    Our 2022 community events reflected a vibrant blend of professional development, industry insight, and community celebration.

    From mentorship opportunities with leaders across sports and business to signature panels with Amazon, HR executives, and advocates for Title IX, members gained valuable knowledge and inspiration. Hands-on experiences—from learning golf basics to exploring the brewing industry—paired with game outings, seasonal parties, and financial planning sessions, created a well-rounded calendar that fostered both career growth and genuine connection among WISE Seattle members.

    Our community gatherings showcase WISE Seattle's commitment to professional growth, inclusion, and connection in the sports and events industry. 

    WISE Seattle members engaged in thought-provoking conversations on diversity, equity, and representation, learned from industry leaders including Olympians, journalists, and Seattle’s pro teams, and built practical skills in areas like financial literacy and personal branding. Alongside these educational opportunities, the calendar was filled with celebrations, networking, and social gatherings—both virtual and in-person—that fostered camaraderie and strengthened the WISE Seattle community.
