Keynote Speaker: Ila Borders – Making My Pitch: A Woman’s Baseball Odyssey
Ila Borders’ passion for baseball started at a young age. Despite facing barriers and discrimination, Ila persevered and became a trailblazer for women in baseball. She then made history by becoming the first woman to pitch in a men’s regular season integrated professional baseball game and the first to earn a win in a men’s integrated professional baseball game. Ila’s success on the field has been matched by her dedication to mentoring young baseball players and her work as a Training Captain for Clackamas Fire District #1. Her non-profit, “Fire Up Bootcamp”, is aimed at helping women and minorities enter the fire service. Ila’s story is one of resilience, courage, and giving back, and her legacy continues to inspire others to overcome barriers and achieve their dreams.
