Empower: Throughout March, D.C. United will highlight individual women in the club’s front office across their social media properties, focusing on their contributions to the business and the advice they have for the next generation of women in sports.
Enrich: D.C. United have partnered with DC SCORES to host a special Q&A event with Black-and-Red President of Business Operations, Danita Johnson. Young female students from the DC SCORES program will get an opportunity to engage and ask questions about Johnson’s career in sports.
