The Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Foundation
announced today a partnership with AXA to help develop the next
generation of female leaders through a series of “Women at the Top
of their Game” panel discussions during the LPGA Tour's 2017
season.
The first of these five discussions will be held on Tuesday,
March 14, during the build-up to the Bank of Hope Founders Cup in
Phoenix, Arizona where Hall of Famer Nancy Lopez will be on the
panel, along with several AXA executives.
The remaining discussions will take place on the Tuesday
evenings of tournament week at the Kia Classic in California, where
LPGA player Lizette Salas will be a panel member, at the Volunteers
of America Texas Shootout, the LPGA Volvick Championship in
Michigan and the Thornberry Creek LPGA Classic in Wisconsin.
Each panel discussion will focus on women's leadership and
include topics such as overcoming obstacles, the influence of
mentors and the significance of career turning points.
“We are excited to continue our partnership with the LPGA and
Girls Golf,” said Kathryn Ferrero, Chief Marketing Officer of AXA
US. “At AXA, we are committed to empowering women not only to reach
their financial goals, but also to grow and develop their careers.
The 'Women at the Top of their Game' panel discussions and
Leadership Academy educational workshops allow us to further this
goal by creating a forum for women to share valuable insight and
best practices, and we are proud to be involved in such a wonderful
program.”
The LPGA Foundation, through its LPGA-USGA Girls Golf program
and its various LPGA Leadership Academies, is committed to
empowering, inspiring and transforming the lives of girls and young
women through the game of golf.
“We are thrilled to partner with AXA once again to bring the
executive panel series, ‘Women at the Top of Their Game’ to five
markets in conjunction with the LPGA Tour,” said Nancy Henderson,
the LPGA Foundation President.
“Kicking off this series at the Bank of Hope Founders Cup is a
natural fit as the tournament’s mission is to celebrate the past
while inspiring the future - values which align with AXA’s mission
and initiatives which empower women. We are looking forward to
including names like Nancy Lopez to our powerful lineup of
panelists.”
AXA will also be involved in two of the LPGA Leadership
Academies this year – in Phoenix at the ASU Karsten Golf Course
from May 22-23 and then in Irving, Texas at Las Colinas Country
Club from May 31-June 1.
The LPGA Leadership Academies were introduced in 2015 and use
golf as a vehicle to provide a framework for young women to develop
their confidence, communication and leadership skills.
The only national initiative of its kind, Girls Golf specializes
in providing a “girl-friendly” environment for juniors to learn and
play the game of golf.
Jointly administered by the LPGA Foundation and the USGA, the
program has grown to nearly 400 sites across the United States with
more than 60,000 girls, aged 7-17, participating in its initiatives
last year.
More than 40 members of the LPGA and Symetra Tours began their
golfing careers by attending a Girls Golf program, including
Brittany Lincicome, Cheyenne Woods, Morgan Pressel, Mariah
Stackhouse, Vicky Hurst and Kathleen Ekey.
