Shaw, Dale Featured at Pro Bowl

STANFORD, Calif. - Bradford M. Freeman Director of Football David Shaw and associate director of football operations Callie Seidman Dale will represent Stanford as featured speakers at the Women's Careers in Football Forum hosted by the NFL this weekend in Orlando.
 
Fifty women, selected from a pool of more than 400 applicants and representing five countries, will participate in the second-annual event held in conjunction with the NFL Pro Bowl. The forum will feature panel discussions, breakout sessions, and networking sessions aimed to educate and prepare women for careers in football operations, including coaching, officiating, scouting and football front office positions.
 
Participants will have the opportunity to connect and learn from executives and industry experts representing the NFL, NCAA, CFL and Women's Leaders in College Sports, among other organizations and academic institutions.

"Samantha Rapoport and the NFL do a great job in leading the way for opportunities for qualified and diverse candidates in football," said Dale. "Many do not realize the career opportunities in college football operations, and I look to contributing to the event while representing Stanford alongside Coach Shaw." 

Along with Shaw and Dale, featured speakers and presenters will include CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie, NFL chief football administration officer Dawn Aponte, Glazer Family Foundation co-president Darcie Glazer Kassewitz (Tampa Bay Buccaneers), Women's Leaders in College Sports chief executive officer Patti Phillips, Atlanta Falcons assistant general manager Scott Pioli, Toronto Argonauts general manager Jim Popp, NFL director of football development Samantha Rapoport, Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera and Minnesota Vikings chief operating officer Kevin Warren.
