“Own your journey”
As one of the few female high school athletic directors in the state of Oregon, Missy
has had to “own her journey” to get where she is as a well-respected Athletic Director.
She didn’t always have a seat at the table but she pulled up a chair anyway. Missy will
share her journey and her vision that helped launch the OGSLS 7 years ago… to make
sure girls in sports are taught intentional leadership and become empowered to be
their authentic self and “Own It”
