Built on the recognition that there is a need for a more diverse coaching pool in conferences across the country.
|
Through conversations and evaluation, it was determined that one of the main issues that leads to the scarcity of diverse candidates is the limited relationships and exposure to a diverse pool of coaches. Head coaches typically hire candidates that they have a relationship with or through recommendations from coaching friends. We believe that the Diversity Mentorship Program can help support a larger pool of diverse candidates moving forward.
