Angel City Football Club executives will share insights into the business side of sports at California Lutheran University’s Business of Sports Event. The event, free for students and the community, is scheduled from 5:45 – 7:30 p.m. on April 17 at the Gilbert Sports and Fitness Center on the university campus.
Players from ACFC, part of the National Women’s Soccer League, will also participate in a question-and-answer session moderated by Cal Lutheran students. After the event, players will be available for photos and autographs.
“This is exactly the type of collaboration we envisioned when Cal Lutheran and Angel City entered a partnership two years ago. Events like these allow our students to hear a real-world perspective and get a behind-the-scenes glimpse from professionals who are leaders in the careers to which our students aspire,” said Lori E. Varlotta, Cal Lutheran president.
“ACFC has a compelling story to share with our students and other fans who want to hear about the club’s success in raising capital, fielding a remarkably talented team and building a network of supporters. We are eager to learn lessons from their success.”
The following ACFC executives will participate in the event:
- Bianca Henninger, Vice President, Ticketing and Hospitality
- Courtney Ksiazek, Senior Director, Partnership Marketing
- Kari Noonan, Chief of Staff and Head of Strategy
- April Seymon, Soccer Operations and Athletic Training
This meeting between faculty leadership and industry professionals is intended to become an annual event at Cal Lutheran. The events aim to be engaging and informative while providing thought-provoking insights.
Cal Lutheran is located at 60 W. Olsen Road, Thousand Oaks. There is no cost to attend but registration is required.
