October 7, 2020

Even though this year’s ISSA show is virtual, attendees won’t miss out on the experience of listening to motivation speakers. ISSA Show North America Virtual Experience features several spotlight speakers, including Sarah Thomas, who will share her experiences in a male-dominated industry in Breaking Through: My Journey to Becoming the First Female NFL Official, on Tuesday, November 17, from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. CST.

Whether you’re managing or cleaning a facility, or officiating an NFL game, Thomas’ session will inspire you to seize opportunities to succeed and to never give up—even when the odds are stacked against you.

Thomas officiated her first game September 13, 2015 between the Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans. Her hat, whistle, and flag are now on display at the Pro Football Hall of Fame and serve as a testament to this historic achievement.

Don’t miss this virtual session to learn key insights on overcoming adversity and finding your passion while maintaining work-life balance and achieving breakthrough success—for males and females alike. Register for an all-access pass for ISSA Show North America Virtual experience today.
