Front Office Sports Forum Series

On January 19th, 2016 at 9pm Eastern Time, Front Office Sports will embark on an all new bi-weekly series dedicated to providing students, young professionals and even professionals the opportunity to ask questions and receive immediate answers from some of the leading minds in the sports business industry. In a style similar to a reddit AMA, these forum style conversations will allow for those participating to ask questions, network with others involved and continue their education in a unique and personal manner. Although many of the forums will have topics and themes the guests will want to cover, no question is too big or too small.

Kicking off the series on the 19th and taking questions mostly about what recruiters and hiring managers look for on candidates’ resumes and what they expect during an interview will be Mark Gress, Vice President, Recruiting for Prodigy Sports.

Mark is a 10 year veteran of the industry and in that time, he has held positions with Turnkey Sports & Entertainment, the Philadelphia Eagles and in the Drexel University Athletic Department.

To be a part of the inaugural FOS Forum Series create an account at https://www.frontofficesports.org/forum/ and come prepared with questions!

Join in on the conversation on Twitter using #FOSForum!
