Sandra Herrera and Lisa Roman roll out the fourth episode of their Title IX Tuesday Series. This June celebrates the 50th anniversary of the passing of Title IX - a federal civil rights law passed in 1972 prohibiting sex-based discrimination in any school or other educational program that receives funding from the federal government. Sandra and Lisa welcome trailblazer, CEO of LA28, bringing the Summer Olympics to LA in 2028. Kathy has a strong history with soccer as a former GK at William & Mary and even working for U.S. Soccer. She discusses being the only woman in a room, how she used sport and her experience as a student-athlete to make her a better executive professional. Plus, she talks about personal experiences of gender discrimination. In the second half of the episode, Sandra and Lisa welcome trailblazer, former Oakland Raiders CEO and panelist on “We Need to Talk” Amy Trask to the show to discuss Title IX. Passed during Amy’s lifetime, she discusses how important the law is and how it changed the course of her career. Amy opens up about how hard she had to work to become CEO of an NFL organization, the goals she had starting as an intern, the biggest obstacles she faced and how her leadership skills differ from her male coworkers.

This Title IX series is done in collaboration with CBS Sports’ “We Need to Talk.”
