The panel event will coincide with *Women in Soccer Night* at AEG’s StubHub Center, which features a match between the LA Galaxy and Vancouver Whitecaps FC. *Women in Soccer Night* will celebrate and honor women’s contributions to the sport of soccer and the rich history and vibrant future of the sport in Southern California.

As part of *Women in Soccer Night*, the LA Galaxy will also honor the first-ever class of the **LA Galaxy Girls’ Academy** at halftime of the game. The LA Galaxy Girls’ Academy, led by Director Kevin Hartman, is the first and only Girls’ Academy program to be fully-funded by a Major League Soccer side, allowing talented local athletes to join free of charge. The Girls’ Academy first-ever season is set to kick off in early September.

This four-part Women’s Leadership series invites women ranging from middle school to established professionals to empower one another through resources related to health & nutrition, leadership development, job readiness and current sport and entertainment trends. The series consists of four different events: A middle school leadership workshop with Positive Coaching Alliance held on March 12 and high school soccer seminar with Peace Over Violence on April 7, followed by the Executive Leadership Panel on July 19th. The series will wrap-up with a young professionals workshop in September.
