Next Week's Meeting
Wednesday, June 15
Zoom Only
12:30 PM - 1:30 PM
Trish Bostrom, 50th Anniversary of Title IX
Trish won the Pacific Eight Collegiate Singles Championship in 1972 while at the University of Washington. She is the only tennis player, male or female, at the University of Washington who has ever won this prestigious title. Trish was co-captain of the Junior Wightman Cup team with Ann Lebedeff during her collegiate years. During this time she won the U.S.T.A. National Amateur Grass Court Doubles Championships 1972 and the U.S.T.A. National Amateur Clay Court Doubles Championships 1972.
Trish so dominated women’s collegiate tennis in the Pacific Northwest that she sought greater competition and equality for women’s athletics by challenging the University of Washington to allow her to compete on the men’s tennis team and to create equal programs for women’s tennis. She was a pioneer for women’s collegiate sports and helped in changing the University’s support for women’s tennis and other sports.
Trish will be presenting on the 50th Anniversary of Title IX, the work that has been done, and the work that still needs to be done to bring gender equity to collegiate sports.
There was no meeting reporter available for this week's meeting. Interested in becoming a meeting reporter? Contact Mary Goldie at mary@seattlerotary.org.
Nicole was born and raised in one of our most tourist-bound cities, New Orleans. After graduating from the University of New Orleans, she spread her wings working for the Four Seasons Hotel in Lanai, Hawaii and for the Intercontinental Hotel in Sydney, Australia. When the pandemic hit, Nicole was looking for new opportunities and found her current position as Marketing Director of Aegis Living Communities.
Nicole has since lived in Seattle for three years but has not lost any time putting roots down. She met her husband locally and they were married on Lopez Island, where they have a second residence.
Please make sure to give Nicole a hearty welcome at the next in-person meeting or event you attend! And thank you to Joel Paget for introducing our club to Nicole! If you'd like to know more about Nicole, check out her LinkedIn profile HERE or our social media post HERE.
