Champions of Change: The RISE Podcast
Seth Waugh, CEO of the PGA of America and a member of RISE's Board of Directors, talks about how the golf world has been impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, and how he envisions a return to play once conditions are safe. Plus, growing the game and how the PGA is striving to make golf a more diverse and inclusive sport. What does it takes to be an inclusive leader, especially during a time of crisis? Finally, we speak about the latest topic of our RISE Digital Learning Series, "Privilege." How does understanding your own privilege help you address social inequities and create opportunities for those who don't share that same privilege? How is Golf, as a sport, overcoming its history of being an exclusive game, and using the sport to drive diversity and inclusion? As a reminder, if you’re interested in learning more about our digital learning series, and this week’s topic of Privilege, be sure to check out www.risetowin.org/digitallearning.
