Elizabeth's creation of Team Parity, a rotating cohort of athletes from the 1,000-strong Parity community who serve as ambassadors for a five-month period, epitomizes her innovative spirit and commitment to advancing Parity’s mission. The successful culmination of the Team Parity pilot left a profound impact, significantly enhancing the organization's trajectory and reinforcing Parity’s dedication to women's sports.
