Our 2024 Women's LeadHerShip Luncheon will feature Evelyn Magley.

​

Evelyn Magley is the first woman to own a professional sports league.

She is the CEO of The Basketball League (TBL), a six-year-old organization that is larger in footprint than the NBA G League, with 49 professional teams in the United States and Canada. By design, TBL gives back to local communities through events and activities that empower youth.

Evelyn is an in-demand speaker due to her accomplishments, passion, and subject matter expertise. After a long career as a music teacher and fundraiser, she pivoted at 60 to do the impossible and start a men’s pro basketball league.

She has been featured in Forbes, Yahoo, and Black Enterprise.
