Special Guest Speaker
Dot Richardson
Dot Richardson , M.D., would not let prejudices against women stand in her way. She became an Olympic gold-medal shortstop in an era when people said, “Girls don't play baseball.” Today she leads a thriving fitness and health center business, is the comissioner of the PFX Tour and is one of only a handful of women holding top positions in corporate America. When Dot set her sights on a goal, she would Go For It!
