Olympian and Lawyer, Margot Foster, has been appointed Chair of the inaugural ASIA PACIFIC World Sport and Women Conference Advisory Board.

World Sport & Women Organisaing Association President, Patrizia Torelli said in today’s announcement ‘we’re delighted to have such a well-known and distinguished sports administrator, with expertise in sport governance, leading our strong advisory board, which is made up of leaders in sport, business and government. Margot’s passion for excellence in sport and in sport business sets her apart from many of her peers and we are thrilled to have the services and assistance of someone of her calibre.’

‘Margot is well known and respected for her ongoing contribution to the development of women and sport, making her the perfect person for this role,’ continues Patrizia. ‘For a number of years now, Margot has hosted the ‘For the Sport of it All’ lunches which have brought together a wide range of women who are engaged in sports leadership and administration and whose connections work to the benefit of everyone who attends the lunches and sport as a whole.’

The ASIA PACIFIC World Sport and Women Conference, which will be held in Melbourne, Australia in October 2012 acknowledges the endorsement of FFA in this inaugural conference which will feature actionable and practical ways to show ‘why’ and ‘how’ females consume sport – from grassroots participation and international representation to the boardroom and stadia across the Asia Pacific Region and beyond.

The objectives of the ASIA PACIFIC World Sport and Women Conference are to help sport, business, community, sponsors, and media to influence the key drivers of sport. The conference is aimed at organisations astute enough to understand that to connect with women and girls, sport must engage MONEY. MEMBERS. MARKETING. MEDIA & MEN.
