Throughout the past decade, the Phoenix Mercury have honored some of the most accomplished and groundbreaking female figures from the worlds of business, sports, politics and beyond during their annual Woman Of Inspiration Night.
Past honorees have included the likes of Robin Roberts, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Mo’ne Davis and Holly Rowe. On Tuesday, new WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert will be the latest of a list of diverse women to be honored for her trailblazing business career.
“More than any other league, ours is about more than just the game we are playing,” said Vince Kozar, Mercury COO. “It’s about diversity, inclusion, widening the circle of acceptance and participation, and uplifting the stories of women who are doing great things on and off the court.”
