Who we are
The Women’s Coaching Conference serves all female and non-binary rowing coaches, providing attendees with actionable education and community building to maximize their current positions and advance to the next step in their careers. The mission of the WCC is to educate, connect, and inspire emerging and established coaches across rowing. We advocate for women in the field to ultimately create a better- equipped, more inclusive, and more sustainable coaching profession. The WCC was founded in 2023 by Madeline Davis Tully, a former collegiate and high school rowing coach turned leadership coach with a passion for helping female rowing coaches thrive.
This winter will feature two editions of the conference - one in Boston on Friday December 13th - Saturday December 14th and another in Seattle on Thursday February 6th - Friday February 7th. Both events will feature top-tier, professional presenters including athletic directors, leadership coaches, and leaders within the rowing community.
Childcare will be available on site to make attendance more feasible for mothers.
