Signature Events

As one of our four Signature Events, this year’s Roundtable event is open to all WISE members and serves as a kick-off to the annual WISE Within Program. Participants will be grouped by years of experience and the mentors will rotate among the tables to address specific topics. 

The “Power Play: Up Close With …” series brings together executive-level female sports business leaders from the same industry or organization for a panel discussion on career issues. Seeing other women succeeding and celebrating their success is critical for women’s professional development. Panelists are encouraged to talk about their work within their organization, as well as their overall career journeys.

Owning a small business or rising up the ranks to assume key leadership roles in organizations and companies requires an understanding of personal fiscal management and overall business operations. Financial Fitness addresses topics such as money management, budget development, the valuation process, and salary negotiation and fee structure, breaking them down into an easy-to-digest format.

WISE is dedicated to recognizing women who have achieved a standard of excellence in sports business, led by example, and support other women. The Women of Inspiration Awards, determined and awarded by WISE Houston, honor local women who exemplify the spirit of the WISE mission and are making a positive impact on the business of sports while serving as positive role models and mentors for other women.
