July 14, 2021 – WeCOACH and the Pac-12 Conference announced a conference-wide membership. The Pac-12 becomes the second Autonomy Conference to activated a conference-wide membership.

Participation in WeCOACH programming not only provides women coaches with access to professional development, but also a community of support that will profoundly enrich their lives. As a Conference that prides itself in being a leader in women's athletics, it is only appropriate that we partner with an organization whose mission aligns so closely with our values. I look forward to seeing the impact that this conference-wide membership will have on our coaches." said Teresa Gould, Senior Associate Commissioner of the Pac-12 and president-elect of the WeCOACH Board of Directors.

The personal development, mentorship, education and empowerment provided, has solidified for our coaches their "why," for doing what they do. For many, it has literally kept them in the game," said Nona Richardson, Executive Senior Associate Athletics Director at the University of Utah and chair of the Pac-12 Senior Woman Administrators Committee. 

The conference-wide membership will be active immediately and extend to twenty women coaches at each Pac-12 institution. Coaches will benefit from the unique programs and resources offered by WeCOACH.

We are thrilled to expand our engagement across the conference to develop, educate, connect and inspire women coaches across levels and sports. At a time when gender equity is a focal point across the landscape, I applaud Teresa and the Pac-12 leadership for their vision and investment in supporting, keeping and advancing women in the coaching profession," said Megan Kahn, CEO of WeCOACH.
