GREEN BAY, Wis. – Green Bay volleyball's Kendall Schara and alum Abby Gardner have been selected to participate in the Set-Spike-Score with Leadership panel hosted by the Schreiber Institute for Women's Leadership at the Kress Center prior to GB's volleyball game against Milwaukee on October 13.

"This is going to be such a cool night," said Green Bay volleyball head coach Abbey Sutherland. "Our Women in Leadership events have become something I'm incredibly proud of because they allow us to use Green Bay Volleyball to bring people together, create meaningful conversations, and connect incredible women in our community. The Institute for Women's Leadership has built such a special community, and I love any opportunity we have to bring that energy into our gym. It makes this one even more special to have Abby Gardner, a Green Bay Volleyball alum, on the panel and to show the connection between who our women are as athletes and who they can become as leaders in their communities. Add in Kendall's story, an incredible group of panelists, and a Green Bay Volleyball match, and it's going to be a really special night. I hope people come for the conversation, make some new connections, and then stay to help us pack the gym."

PANEL INFORMATION (REGISTER HERE)
Athletes and business leaders get handed a familiar set of labels: confident, disciplined, coachable, competitive. But those words flatten a much more interesting reality. The habits built over years of experience and training: the drive to push through pain, the reflex to defer to a coach, the instinct to measure yourself against a scoreboard or financial performance are just some of the habits that follow athletes into offices and everyday life. Some of them become real strengths, while others quietly get in the way. Join us to hear more from a powerhouse female panel, network with other athletes, and take in an NCAA Division I Volleyball game!
