Description
Until 1961, women and people of color were barred from joining the Professional Golfers’ Association of America by the “Caucasian-only clause” in its bylaws. That limited who could work in the golf industry because the PGA of America is a trade organization for professionals who work in the business of golf at courses and clubs around the U.S. Now, Sandy Cross, the Chief People Officer of the PGA of America, is working to build a more inclusive and equitable culture at the organization’s corporate level. Additionally, she’s leading conversations to educate golf’s frontline professionals on the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion. She joins host Porter Braswell to explain why she leads with inclusion when building more diverse cultures, the important role of language, and how the PGA of America is addressing past discrimination in golf.
