Meet the Keynote Speaker: Lisa Borders, president, WNBA

Our National Convention is Oct. 8-10 in Dallas. In the coming weeks, we’ll introduce you to the event’s four keynote speakers. These dynamic women will leave you motivated, recharged and ready to raise your game.

When Lisa Borders takes the stage in Dallas, she could talk about her time at Duke University or as vice mayor of Atlanta. She could share how under her leadership, $325 million was raised for the charitable foundation of Atlanta’s largest public hospital.

Lisa could share stories from her time at the Coca-Cola Company, where she led global community affairs and the company’s charitable foundation. Or, she could talk about where she is today – president of the WNBA, the world’s longest women’s pro sports league.

From 9:45 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. on Tuesday, October 10, Lisa will sit down with Women Leaders CEO, Patti Phillips, for a candid conversation about leadership, advancement, and what Lisa’s learned along the way. They’ll talk about her career highlights and accomplishments, as well as the unique challenges she’s tackled head-on as a successful woman of color.

We want to know: What would you ask? Lisa’s impressive career spans public service, philanthropy, and the private sector. She’s a mom. And, she’s at the top level of women’s professional sports.

So, if you had five minutes with her, what would you ask?

Tell us @WomenLeadersCS by using #WomenLeaders17. We’ll collect your questions and include the top ones in Patti’s sit-down with Lisa.

Don’t miss the chance to learn from a successful sports executive at the top of her game! Register today for the 2017 National Convention and get ready to be inspired by Lisa and all our keynote speakers!
