Our Mission
WiST is a nonprofit organization that empowers transformative growth opportunities for women and employers, from the classroom to the boardroom at the intersection of sports, technology and innovation.
Our Vision
A diverse industry that provides equitable access to opportunities and inclusive cultures across the sports tech landscape.
WHAT DIFFERENTIATES US
From inception, WiST defined three core principles that continue to drive us today.
Multigenerational team
The core working team reflects the full range of career stages that WiST advocates for – from students to experienced professionals.
Male champions
Support and participation from men in the industry is critical, as without their commitment to embracing the WiST movement, nothing would change.
Action and impact
WiST is not just a community that speaks up; it’s a tenacious, passionate movement of change agents who drive tangible results.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
