March is Women’s History Month – so when is a better time to kick-off a new series that supports and celebrates local women in sports?

The Greater Columbus Sports Commission is launching a new series called COMMITTED, designed to showcase women’s sports and the females involved. And get ready! The first event is taking place Tuesday, March 26 at Ohio Dominican University Griffin Student Center.

The event features two powerhouse speakers: Danielle Donehew, executive director of the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association, and Lynn Holzman, vice president of NCAA women’s basketball. Both will discuss their career, the importance of supporting women in sports and their experience hosting basketball event in Columbus.

COMMITTED is so much more than one event, so keep your eyes peeled for future events and speakers. Stay up-to-date by visiting www.columbussports.org/committed.

How did COMMITTED start?

The series didn’t originate out of thin air, Columbus is actually a growing hub for women in sports.

In 2018, the NCAA Women’s Final Four was held in Columbus and GCSC partnered with the NCAA on a series called Beyond the Baseline – networking events throughout the U.S. designed for professional women and business leaders. Between the success of Beyond the Baseline local events and the Final Four, Columbus has become a distinguished city for women’s sports.
