A cornerstone of its Athlete Safety & Advocacy Action Plan, the United States Olympic Committee today announced the formation of the Athlete & NGB Engagement Commission \u2013 to be chaired by WNBA President Lisa Borders<\/strong> \u2013 that will evaluate the structure of the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic community. The working group will specifically review how the USOC interacts with and oversees the 49 diverse National Governing Bodies, and how the organization can better engage with the athletes it serves.<\/p>\n

This action is another step in the USOC\u2019s focused pursuit of enhanced athlete safety and engagement.<\/p>\n

\u201cAthlete safety is of the utmost importance to our community, and the Athlete & NGB Engagement Commission will provide essential analysis of our current governance strategy to help us collectively improve our safeguards,\u201d said USOC Acting CEO Susanne Lyons<\/strong>. \u201cWe must ensure that we are exercising the proper level of authority in both creating athlete protection policies and making sure they are strictly adhered to.\u201d<\/p>\n

Borders has worked and delivered results in the public, private and non-profit sectors. She has more than 25 years of experience in operations, marketing, government relations and public service, including as president of the WNBA for the last two years. Prior to her role in women\u2019s professional basketball, she was chair of The Coca-Cola Foundation and vice president of global community affairs at The Coca-Cola Company, after serving six years as City Council president and vice mayor of Atlanta.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am eager to engage in this process with the hope of assisting the U.S. sports community in emerging from this crisis stronger and further evolved,\u201d said Borders. \u201cAthletes of all ages and ability levels deserve to have safe environments in which to train and compete. The actions being taken now and in the future must help ensure that sport participation leaves a positive legacy for the millions of athletes in our country.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLisa has been a very active champion for female rights in the sports world and beyond, and has a demonstrated ability to connect and engage with athletes,\u201d said Lyons. \u201cYoung athletes should not have to fear sexual abuse when they are training or competing, and I am confident that Lisa\u2019s leadership will help enact further actions to make our community stronger and better able to protect the many athletes we serve.\u201d<\/p>\n

The working group, which is currently being populated, will be comprised of at least seven members, including athlete, NGB and independent board representation, plus one or more individuals with governance expertise in relevant organizations. The working group will be fully formed later this month and is expected to make a series of recommendations that will be implemented over the coming months.<\/p>\n
