ATLANTA- The Atlanta Hawks Basketball Club received the NBA Inclusion Leadership Award, which recognizes a team’s commitment to inclusion as a key business strategy, as part of the NBA Team Sales & Marketing 2019 Awards, which were announced at the league’s annual sales and marketing meetings in Miami.
After evaluating the team’s full slate of inclusion programming, the judging was based off three distinct categories: innovation, inspiration and impact. The Hawks were recognized among all 30 teams for being outstanding in promoting inclusion and inclusive practices.
“We are extremely proud of this recognition from the NBA,” said Hawks SVP, Community, and Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer Nzinga Shaw.
