What happens when we stop following the playbook and start writing our own? When we challenge ourselves and the systems that define us? The possibilities are endless\, the impact immeasurable. Let’s celebrate the courage to innovate\, the confidence to persevere\, the vision to lead\, and the power to go beyond the playbook. \nKeynote Speaker: Charean Williams is an accomplished sports journalist and the first woman to receive the prestigious Dick McCann Award from the Pro Football Hall of Fame\, honoring her contributions to football reporting. With a career spanning over three decades\, she has covered 30 Super Bowls and worked with top outlets\, including the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and Pro Football Talk. Renowned for her insightful analysis and dedication to the field\, Charean is a trailblazer for women in sports journalism and an authoritative voice in NFL coverage. Speaker Sponsor: the Dallas Wings \nBling Boxes: When you purchase a $50 Bling Box\, you help send young women to the colleges in our community – UTA and TCC-SE.
