NORFOLK, Va. (October 16, 2019) – The Mid-Eastern Athletic
Conference (MEAC) will host the 11th annual Women in Athletics
Professional Development Workshop “Why Not Me?” where Howard
University Senior Women Athletic Administrator(SWA) Amy Olson will
be among the speakers for this year’s panel. The two-day event (Dec.
16-17) will take place at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis Hotel in
Atlanta, Ga., in conjunction with the week of activities leading up
to the Celebration Bowl.
“I am honored to be [a] panelist at this year’s women in athletics
workshop,” said Olson. “As a senior woman athletic administrator, I
understand the importance of encouraging and educating young women
on opportunities within collegiate athletics.”
The goal of this workshop is to increase the awareness of
opportunities available to women athletic administrators and assist
them in their professional development. In addition, this workshop
will provide the necessary tools to assist young women interested in
becoming athletic administrators.
“The Women in Athletics workshop continues the MEAC’s mission of
providing opportunities and positive experiences for women who
aspire to have a career in athletic administration,” MEAC
Commissioner Dr. Dennis E. Thomas said. “As always, I encourage all
to attend what will be an informative networking and interactive
opportunity.”
The MEAC has plenty of progressive, talented innovators and thinkers
presenting – including keynote speaker Tanika Cabral, Vice
President, Global Marketing for Coca-Cola. Other presenters include
Sonja O. Stills, MEAC Senior Associate Commissioner and Senior Woman
Administrator; Alexiss Robinson, Director of Compliance - Financial
Aid at Villanova University; Alvin Payne of Atlantic Union Bank; Dr.
Jodi Merriday of the Southwest Atlanta Foundation; and Merlene
Aitken-Smith, Senior Associate Athletic Director at Clayton State
University.
“When I started in collegiate athletics, it was not the norm to see
women in the field,” Olson added. “I think now our society and many
programs have come to embrace women [in athletics]. Iam happy to
help contribute to this movement.”
This workshop is open to students, coaches, athletic staff members,
conference office staff, or any woman interested in advancing in the
field of athletics.
Registration closes Monday, Dec. 9. For more information, contact
