The Assembly 2023 | The Assembly 2024 > The Assembly 2022 RecapThe Assembly – June 22-24, 2022The Assembly: Pro Sports Leadership Retreat and Workshop is for professional sports business leaders who are not only influential in setting an agenda and strategy for their organization, but who are also invested in a more diverse, inclusive, and fair future across all aspects of professional sports. At our core, we believe the professional sports industry is at an inflection point. Coming through a time of so much uncertainty - driving innovation, bolstering financial performance, capturing new markets, and increasing customer loyalty hinges on adaptability and agility. Diverse and inclusive teams do this best. Pro Sports Assembly members from professional teams, leagues, unions, and venues will work together to:
The agenda also includes social activities and adventures around the city – including the new OVG Moody Center, Austin FC Q2 Stadium, and Huston-Tillotson University (Austin’s oldest institution of higher learning and only HBCU). The Assembly is perfect for senior leaders and rising stars, women and men who handle business and sport operations, and those who influence decisions in their departments, organizations and communities - and, most importantly, those who are motivated to the professional sports ecosystem. Attendees will leave The Assembly with tools to:

THURSDAY, JUNE 23People, Policies and Pro Sports - Honoring the 50th Anniversary of Title IX - presented by Sendero Wealth ManagementAs we embark on our first Leadership Retreat and Workshop we'll focus in on the People (AKA workforce) and Policies in pro sports. June 23rd is when the "work" in our workshop begins - and it also marks the 50th Anniversary of the landmark gender equality legislation Title IX. What better place to be than in a room full of your PRO friends leading the way! Cynt Marshall, Cassandra Carr, Ken Shropshire, Oracio Galindo, Xavier Gutierrez and Iris Diaz will lead conversations about how policy has transformed professional sports, where it's fallen short and what the future may look like. Arizona State University is leading the workshop using their SPARK method, which will be a great tool for your leadership toolbox - one that you can use to lead innovation sessions with your own team.

FRIDAY, JUNE 24(re)Defining DEI: Dividends, Earnings and Investments hosted by Austin FCThe workshop on Day 3 will be led by Rob Kaplan, Harvard Business School style where he will challenge the way that we think about DEI in business. We will take learnings from Day 2 to diagnose where we are as leaders, consider what to do together and independently, and explore how to leverage our leadership influence for lasting impact on front offices, our community and pro sports as a whole. (re)Defining Diversity, Equity and Inclusion through an economic lens may complicate our thinking, but it helps guide better decisions across all facets of business. During this workshop we will dive into two live case studies - one with Commissioner Jessica Berman and Michele Roberts and the second with Ashley Bell, David Gould and Lester Jones. MORNING
