Panelists included BATTLE OF THE SEXES filmmakers Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton, Vanessa Shay, Vice President of Corporate Sales for AEG Global Partnerships, Dr. Lucretia Taylor, Associate Director of A Place Called Home Teen Services and was moderated by Courtney Carter, CEO of The Carter Media Group.
“LA Galaxy Foundation does an incredible job providing thoughtful programming throughout the LA Galaxy Foundation Women’s Leadership Series," LA Galaxy and AEG Global Partnerships Senior Manager and WISE member Kala Polman-Tuin said. "The diverse panel of speakers featured at the Battle of the Sexes event provided thought provoking and inspiring dialogue. Having the opportunity to hear from women that are in senior leadership positions at our own organization (AEG) speak about their journey is highly encouraging, would love to see the programming continue.”
