Nbd Recruitment Strategy

Women have struggled for more than two centuries to be taken serious as professionals. There should not be a double standard in sports especially if it is loved and played by both genders. Over the years, females have competed against the stereotype of being too fragile both mentally and physically to play strenuous sports. The passion and work ethic of the female professional athletes is just as strong as the males and everyone should be treated equal and be able to have a chance at making a better living for themselves as well as their family. One area that still faces a continual struggle in sports is gender equality. Female

In most cases black women receive less recognition when it comes to higher positions in sports. McDowell & Cunningham (2009) suggested black female athletic administrators provide important acumens into their experiences in intercollegiate athletic departments, it is important to consider the aspects of their lives and identities' and explore how these women negotiate their identities. This notion is important for the sake of sport organizations because it gives them more insight on the point of view for black females in the realm of the sports world.

As I begin my journey as a RRNCO (Recruiting and Retention Non-Commissioned Officer) there will be many obstacles that I will have to overcome to be the best recruiter I can be. I want to be able to give others the same opportunities the National Guard offered to me. I was not always supportive of the military, but in the end I owe all my success to the time I spent in the Army National Guard. Throughout this paper I will be showing different statistics or demographics of the high school I feel is the most important school I need to focus on. When I start to look at the school year, I have to devote certain time and effort, so I need to develop a school program that will help generate leads and referrals. By conducting presentations about the ARNG (Army National Guard) on such topics as the role of the ARNG, state/federal missions, features and benefits, employment opportunities and ARNG history.(NGR 601-1 2-18(f)) My yearly plan will be broken down month by month. This school plan will help me build and sustain relationships throughout the FY (Fiscal Year). The soldiers I enlist will be joining the Ohio Army National Guard.

The issue of inequality within the sporting world affects the whole of the cultural and social makeup of Australia. In modern society there is great pressure upon people and communities regard women as equal to men. Women have come along way in one hundred years. From women being join the armed services, allowed to vote, and hold prestigious places within society. However women are still not held in the same esteem as men when it comes to sport. Therefore Australia should make it a priority of society to close the gap between men and women’s sport. But to do this, we must first understand the stakeholders and the issues surrounding them to correctly target and work to fix these issues. There are a number of barriers that effect women’s

Across all areas of society increasing gender equality has become an important and popular topic. Many industries are taking action to help create equal opportunities for both men and women, although Myers and Doherty (2007) suggest there is ,“ A considerable amount of work still to be done to achieve equality for women in sport” (p.323). Placing emphasis on the role of sport and societal issues Mulholland (2012) claims, “Sport is a viable tool for addressing gender inequality and empowering girls and women.” (p.17). The inequality of male to female participation is especially present in snowboarding, as stated by the Women’s Snowboard Federation, “Female participation rates in snowboarding are significantly lower than the distribution of the general population” (Women’s Snowboard Federation). This paper will discuss the Canadian snowboard industry, and why it is important for their organization to reach out into the Canadian sport community and increase the number of female participants. Although the Canadian snowboard industry is predominantly male, the current changing tone of this male dominated industry presents an ideal opportunity to make changes effectively and efficiently to pursue gender equal opportunities and in the distribution of programming. Coakely (2009) claims that sport is a socially constructed institution that changes according to cultural context; affects other realms of our culture like

The way the board at Girls Inc. of Monroe is structured suggests that they are moving towards the contemporary end of the sport governance continuum. As discussed in

The Issues in Sports Discussion was about diversity within sport leadership. The overall message of the discussion was primarily that women and minorities should be able to obtain leadership positions in the sport industry. By taking a positive approach towards diversity, a sports organization can improve its effectiveness and associating with people from a variety of cultures can positively influence the company. Diversity provides an advantage to the organization by contributing a unique perspective that groups of the same race or gender might not discover. The panelists criticized the “Rooney Rule” because there shouldn’t need to be a rule in place that allows minorities and women to be considered for executive positions. When a position

There were a total of 30 people interviewed throughout this research. There were fifteen men and fifteen women, all of which are in a profession that is related the field of sport leadership. The subjects were randomly selected. There were 5 athletic directors, 10 athletes, 3 sportscasters, 7 athletic administrators, and 8 were a part of the academia side of athletics. The subject pool consisted of fourteen African Americans, ten Caucasians, and six Latin Americans. Each race was divided into equal parts: male and female. The age range for the subjects ranged from 22 years old to 50 years old. Interviews are a form of qualitative research, and was deemed the best way for the researchers to gather information on the topic. There was much brainstorming associated with building the questionnaire for this research. The researchers had to come up with a way to answer each aspect of the topic. The researchers were able to divide the topic being examined into five parts: leadership, coaching, equal pay, presentation, and team sports. Each section was different, but each other related in some way back to the presentation of females in team sport leadership. Three pilot studies took place to ensure validity of the questionnaire, and then edited by the researchers to better suit the study. See Appendix I. The questions were randomly selected by the researchers to gather information on people’s views about females in sport leadership roles. The process of selecting questions for each

Sociologist Eric Anderson consider the theory of withholding women from upward mobility in sports as, “[…] the dominant version of masculinity, simply being male permits all men to benefit from the marginalization of all women. This is something […] [called] ‘“patriarchal divide’” (Anderson, 2008, p.128). Men will continue to perpetuate this divide as long as they continue to benefit from the discrimination. Ultimately, men are scared of the power shift and control women will gain by holding these powerful positions. However, for women in sports, it is not about just the power that comes along with the job title, but equity and respect in their field. Women in sports deserve their recognition and leadership position.

The aim and objective of this dissertation was to contribute to the fascinating body of knowledge in the field of gender imbalance throughout two of sports most prolific governing bodies, the LTA (Lawn Tennis Association) and the FA (Football Association). To this end, a case study was conducted into the process of the defining desideratum in tipping the gender imbalance, if any, in both governing bodies. A review of existing literature led to the formation this was able to guide the primary research. Through the medium of semi-structured interviews questions respondents were asked to address a number of issues which included, what are both organisations actively doing through their policies to address gender imbalance? How are they building,

According to FIFA statistics, there are 26 million girls and women in 180 countries who play football. The first World Championship was held in 1991 in China. FIFA’s records show that in the last 10 years, women’s participation in football has increased by 210% in the USA, by 250% in Switzerland and by 160% in Germany. These are positives, although the level of sports media coverage remains very low. It is also clear that gender imbalance in SGB governing structures is now firmly on the agenda and there is some recognition that balanced boards make good business sense. The IOC (International Olympic Committee) has recognised that targeting only changes in the gender ratio may not be sufficient to increase the number of women on sport governing

D1- Evaluate the usefulness of the documents used in the interview pack for a given organisation, in facilitating the interview process.

The obstacles to women’s participation in sports are categorised into three and these are financial, non-support and time.

In the last one hundred years women have made tremendous inroads in many facets of life. Of that there can be little doubt. Women may now hold jobs, own property and participate in professional sports. Today women can compete in sports, once a vestige of male domination; there is now room for women in that arena. But even today women in sports are not portrayed in the same light as their male counterparts. To a large degree this is because of today's cultural ideal of women.
