Agency Wasserman hosts an annual Women of Sports Cocktail event, which has been running for 15 years and has grown to include a network of 800-900 women in sports. This gathering serves as a crucial networking opportunity for women executives and leaders in the industry, promoting job opportunities, mentorship, and initiatives to enhance women's sports. Organizers like Elizabeth Lindsey emphasize the importance of such events for fostering support and connection in a male-dominated field, providing a space where women can gather and share experiences.
"For one night a year, you're not the only woman in the room," Lindsey said.
"What this gathering did for those women is give a little bit of an outlet at least once a year where you could breathe."
Lindsey estimates that the Women of Sports Cocktail...has grown to include a database of roughly 800 to 900 women across sports.
Members said the network has led to job opportunities, mentorship, and women's sports initiatives.
