Women With Drive III — Driven by Mobil 1 is a conference organized by Women in Motorsports North America (WIMNA) bringing together the most successful and influential people in motorsports to discuss the current issues and needs to advance opportunities for a more diverse and inclusive environment to help grow the motorsports industry. This year’s conference takes place at Phoenix Raceway November 7-8. St. James, who competed in 15 IndyCar races and seven Indy 500s, is co-chair on the event.
Parity, a subsidiary of Gainbridge, is a brand sponsorship platform that is committed to closing the gender gap income and opportunity gap in professional sports.
“Parity Week by Gainbridge is a great opportunity to celebrate women’s sports and the athletes that are following in the footsteps of these legends,” says Parity CEO Leela Srinivasan. “The week is a tribute to their enduring legacies and another opportunity to champion gender equality and opportunity in sports.”
