Weâre thrilled to honor Jess Smith, President of the Golden State Valkyries, as a Star Award recipient at Project Glimmerâs 15th Annual Benefit: Shine Forward. đ«
Jess is transforming womenâs sports - leading the Valkyries to sold-out games, record-breaking revenues, and a new era of visibility and impact. đ
As Jess shared: âWithout Project Glimmer, and the work that they do, women from my background don't get to sit in a seat like this and do the work that I get to do. I needed people in my life, building my confidence, expanding my network and making me confident enough to do the role that I do today and have the outcomes that I have.â
đ„Catch the magic LIVE on Instagram when we Shine Forward on 11/13! Save the date to hear Jess's story of vision, grit and game-changing leadership!
