To highlight Women in Sport on the occasion of the 2008 Olympics, AmCham’s Women of Influence committee will showcase a panel of three distinguished and high-achieving women who have been playing leading roles in Hong Kong sport within the last 15+ years. The key topics to be covered during this luncheon event:
* Impact of the Olympic Games on the public’s interest in sport
* Insights on building and managing a high-performance and high-pressure career in the public eye
* Unique opportunities and challenges for female athletes * Needs for female role models in sport
* The importance of sport and fitness for Hong Kong as a world-class city
