Tennis great and gender equality icon Billie Jean King visited Magellan Corporation offices on – fittingly – International Day of the Girl, Friday, October 11, 2019. The theme of International Day of the Girl was GirlForce: Unscripted and Unstoppable. More than 350 friends from the sports, philanthropic, diplomatic, educational, journalistic, civic and corporate sectors gathered for a luncheon and Q & A led by WNBA All-Star from the Chicago Sky, Jantel Lavender.
Billie Jean and Lavender spoke of the strides made toward gender equality in sports, the road ahead, and all things in between. An extraordinary day with extraordinary people. Promoting women-forward initiatives, including in athletics, STEM studies, and in the civic and business arenas, is a pillar of Magellan’s community involvement. Unscripted and Unstoppable!
