WISE SF Bay Area was so proud to support and attend ROOTED and RISING: Women Leading in Sports Business Event hosted by the Oakland Roots Sports Club. Congratulations on a great event and brava to all the WISE SF Bay Area members who participated and attended including: Hannah Gordon, Andrea Iannucci Lepore, Kristen Rodgers, Olivia Passanisi-Boullet, nadine m. glinski, Faatimah A, Gabby Turner, Airikuh Anderson, Magda Marcel. Hannah Gordon From Fayne Samantha Cohen, M.A., President of WISE SF Bay Area + Marketing, Events, and Sponsorships at Bloom Energy: “As President of WISE SF Bay Area, I was not only honored to attend this incredible event but our chapter was thrilled to support Rooted and Rising driven by the Oakland Roots. The representation of so many amazing female leaders was incredible, a gathering of truly powerful women, closely tied to the wonderful community in Oakland, where inspiration met innovation. The powerhouse list of speakers created engaging panels on career growth, tech-driven productivity, and creative brand partnerships. On behalf of our chapter, I hope Rooted and Rising becomes and annual event and in partnership with WISE SF Bay Area we can continue to collaborate on its success.” From Julia Kelly: Event Coordinator at San Francisco 49ers / WISE SF Bay Area member: “Attending the Rooted and Rising Conference was an inspiring experience, providing the opportunity to learn from accomplished women. A recurring theme: authenticity and consistently showing up as your true self. GS Valkyries President, Jess Smith emphasized that reputation is everything, and since you never know who is watching, it’s essential to always present your authentic self. Rachel Heit shared her insights on the distinction between mentorship and sponsorship: Mentorship to a personal board of directors—trusted individuals you turn to for guidance and support. Sponsorship stems from meaningful networking and strong relationships. Sponsors are the advocates who champion your success in rooms where you are not present.” #WISESFBAYAREA?#ROOTEDANDRISING?#WOMENINSPORTS #WOMENSPORTSLEADERS?#WISE
