Sarah sits down with Gotham COO Kari Fleischauer, Portland Cascade GM Jami Lobpries, and Seattle Torrent GM Meghan Turner at the 2026 espnW Summit NYC. The group discusses being major decision-makers for their respective NWSL, AUSL and PWHL teams, establishing a new franchise vs. taking over a legacy brand, managing the demands of growth and expansion, turning casual fans into diehards, and their enthusiasm – and concern – about the exploding women’s sports space. Plus, how does your state rate in the RepresentWomen Gender Parity Index?
