ANNE FLANNERY
Women's Sports Pioneer, Non-Profit CEO
Anne is a sports leader and social entrepreneur with over 25 years in the industry where she led innovation and advocacy efforts at the Women's Sports Foundation, the Women's Basketball Coaches Association and at Spalding where she helped to found the WNBA. She is a founding member of the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame and just recently, joined the board of Women 2.0 to help create more resources for female founders. I am looking forward to my upcoming trip to France for the Women's World Cup and to some of the work around getting more women into coaching. I hope to continue to mentor the next generation of women sports leaders and social entrepreneurs, and to tell more stories of those upon whose shoulders we all stand today.
