General

How was the Pro Sports Assembly formed, and how did the idea come about?

As many great organizations do, the Pro Sports Assembly started organically with a diverse group of sport executives coming together to problem solve, ideate and sometimes even commiserate. Led by Spurs Sports and Entertainment leaders, the group began brainstorming ways to formalize a seemingly disparate but deep network. A few meetings turned into an official non-profit turned into what we hope to become the pre-eminent network of industry professionals striving to help shape the next generation of leadership in professional sports.
