They are shining on sports business’s big stage, but last Thursday our 2017 Game Changers were in the spotlight in New York City, recognized during a program that included speakers and panels focusing on the intersection of women and sports. A career breakfast started the morning, and presenters during the day included Kim Pegula of Pegula Sports and Entertainment and Linda Yaccarino of NBC Universal.
