Women's sports are no longer on the rise — they've arrived. Now the conversation turns to what it takes to lead within this movement.

Join us at the 2026 Paup Lecture Series for a conversation with leaders shaping the business of sports, and a look inside the world of sports management. 

📅 Tuesday, October 20, 2026
📍 Hubbard Hall, TWU| Denton, TX
🎟 Free admission | Registration required — seating is limited

Speakers

• Brandi Chastain — 2026 Paup Lecture Series Ambassador | Two-Time FIFA Women's World Cup Champion | Olympic Gold Medalist
• Monica Paul — Executive Director, Dallas Sports Commission
• Charlie Neil — Founder & President, Dallas Trinity FC | 2024–2025 USL Super League Executive of the Year

Together, they'll examine how women's sports intersect with culture, business, and global strategy and what leadership looks like at every level of that ecosystem.
