Please be on the lookout for the Valspar 2024 Hospitality Offerings Booklet. On page 35, you’ll find included among the contents Women of Color Golf (WOCG) brightening up the pages! In an email this week, sent by the Founder and Executive Director, Clemmie Perry, to Women Of Color Golf Advisory Board and Leaderboard Members, Perry shared the exciting news, saying, “My heart is full because Women of Color is prominently featured in the promotional materials for the Valspar Championship’s ‘Executive Women’s Day’ conference promotional materials.”
Perry went on to emphasize the significance of this recognition, stating, “This is a remarkable testament to the value we bring to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the world of golf.” Perry founded Women of Color Golf in 2014, and since then, the organization has introduced golf to over 2,500 minority women and girls in the Tampa and St. Petersburg, Florida, Bay area, and Washington, D.C. They have been actively involved in conducting golf clinics, organizing recreational golf events, fostering business networking, and offering mentoring opportunities to promote diversity and inclusion within the sport of golf in the U.S. and internationally.
Perry continued, “I am immensely proud and grateful for the contributions each of you has made to Women of Color Golf and our mission to enhance representation in content, marketing, and corporate leadership.”
Along with other significant progress, WOCG Leaderboard Member, Dr. Sandra Braham, was recently appointed as the first Black Woman – for the “The Copperheads” and she holds the distinction of being the only Black woman to chair the St. Pete Area Chamber of Commerce Board in the past 125 years.
