About the Conference

The first National Conference on Girls and Women in Sport and Physical Activity will be held Thursday, October 20th - Saturday, October 22nd, 2011 on the UNCG campus.

The theme of the conference is Discovering Strengths Through Body and Mind: The First National Conference on Girls and Women in Sport and Physical Activity.

The First National Conference on Girls and Women in Sport and Physical Activity is a joint conference between the Program for the Advancement of Girls and Women in Sport and Physical Activity (PAGWSPA) at UNCG and the National Association for Girls and Women in Sport (NAGWS).

Our shared mission, “to develop and deliver equitable and quality sport opportunities for ALL girls and women…”, is realized through efforts in three areas: scholarship/research, education and service. This conference will create a synergy of our mission and will help it “come alive” in all three areas at the same time, for the first time. We hope you can join us!
