Live Fireside Chat w/ DeMaurice Smith
Join us for an intimate, thought-provoking fireside chat featuring DeMaurice Smith, former Executive Director of the NFL Players Association, a leader who has spent over a decade navigating one of the most controversial, high-visibility, and culturally influential arenas in America.
