Mavericks Forming New Diversity, Inclusion-Focused Advisory Council

The Mavericks are forming a new advisory council "designed to help the team set 'the standard for inclusion and diversity in the NBA,'" according to Karen Robinson-Jacobs of the DALLAS MORNING NEWS. Retired Dallas Police Chief David Brown and Mavs Senior Dir of Community Relations Katie Edwards will co-chair the Dallas Mavericks Advisory Council. The panel also will "include business leaders, some season ticket holders" and corporate partners. It will "consist of about 20 members and will meet quarterly, beginning on Media Day, Sept. 21." Topics to tackle include "workforce recruitment and retention, philanthropy and community engagement, trends in the marketplace, programmatic strategy and public affairs." The team is in the "midst of a '100-day plan' aimed at cleaning up problems first uncovered" by an SI report in February. Invitations to join the council have "gone out to 28 potential members," and the list of advisors is "scheduled to be released in August" (DALLASNEWS.com, 7/12).
