NBA rolls out plan to hire more women

The NBA has told teams it will have several events in the coming months designed to help improve workplace cultures, as well as find more ways to have women in leadership roles around the league. The NBA’s memo, sent Wednesday, revealed plans to hold workshops in Atlanta and Los Angeles in mid-November on

diversity and inclusion efforts. An event is also planned in North Carolina during the all-star break to expand “the pipeline of female talent in basketball operations roles.” In a separate memo last week, NBA commissioner Adam Silver told teams he wants to see more women hired around the league, particularly in leadership and supervisory positions.
