The NFL and the Vikings "invited 300 Minneapolis-area female college and graduate students to the event, which was also attended by more than 200 women associated with the NFL." NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Vikings co-Owner Mark Wilf "spoke at the summit." Goodell, the father of two daughters, said that he "takes the efforts to diversify the NFL personally." ESPN's Beth Mowins, the first woman to call an NFL game from the broadcast booth in three decades, "offered some career counsel." She said, “It’s OK for women to be ambitious. Have a dream and go chase it" (Minneapolis STAR TRIBUNE, 2/3).
