Meet the women who make this community personal.

A State Connector is a local point of connection to the larger Global Community. She welcomes new members from her state, makes introductions, shares opportunities, and helps make a national network feel personal.

She is your liaison to the Global Community — someone working close to your own corner of high school sports who can help you get more out of being part of it.

Welcomes you in. She reaches out to new members from her state, so that joining feels like meeting someone rather than completing a form.

Makes introductions. When there is another woman you ought to know, in your state or outside it, she is the one who says so.

Shares what’s happening. Master Classes, the Mentor Program, awards and events — she passes along what is coming up and what is worth your time.

Celebrates the women around her. She notices the work being done in her state and makes sure the rest of us hear about it.

Brings your state back to us. What women need where you are helps shape what the Global Community builds next.

State Connectors are volunteers who do this alongside their own work in high school sports. That is exactly what makes it personal.

Reach out to her directly — she would like to hear from you. States are listed alphabetically, with our international representation at the end.

Our State Connector network is still growing. Wherever you live, you are a full part of the Global Community. You can still participate fully in GCWHSS membership, Master Classes, the Mentor Program and other community opportunities.

And if you would like to help build those connections for women in your state, we would love to hear from you.

This isn’t about adding another leadership position to your résumé. It’s about helping others find theirs.

State Connectors welcome new members from their state, make introductions, share what the Global Community is offering, celebrate the women doing the work, and tell us what women in their state need. There is no formal term. The commitment averages about an hour a week, shaped around your own schedule, and it starts with a conversation.

The women who do this well are not necessarily the most experienced people in the room. They are the ones who enjoy making introductions, who notice who has not been included yet, and who measure leadership by what it does for someone else.
