Behind every breakthrough in motorsports is not only talent, but also leadership willing to open doors and take it to the next levels. This panel spotlights leaders at the helm of major sanctioning bodies and organizations who are driving measurable change—creating entry points for women, launching development programs, celebrating successes, and building inclusive pipelines across racing disciplines.

From Mazda’s First to the Finish broadcast initiative and scholarships, to IMSA’s nationwide STEM outreach, to NHRA’s “Women of Power,” campaign, to Porsche’s female driver development support, to Toyota’s identifying and supporting women racers, these leaders will share the why and the how behind their efforts—and the results they’ve achieved so far.
