The Los Angeles Sports & Entertainment Commission (LASEC) today unveiled a new Board of Governors to offer strategic guidance as the organization prepares for an unprecedented run of global events in the coming years.
The 20-member Board comprises Los Angeles-based sports, entertainment, industry, finance, and philanthropic leaders, many of whom have been deeply involved with the nonprofit organization. LASEC is officially designated to attract, secure, and support high-profile sports and entertainment events in the Los Angeles region and serves as the lead for the FIFA World Cup Los Angeles 26™ and Super Bowl LXI Host Committees.
“I’m thrilled to welcome such a distinguished group of leaders as L.A. ramps up to host several of the world’s biggest sports events,” said LASEC President & CEO Kathryn Schloessman. “Each of our Governors is deeply committed to championing L.A. as the premier sports and entertainment capital and appreciates the power of marquee events to create positive economic, cultural, and community impacts that last long after the final whistle blows.”
Greater L.A. is experiencing a decade unlike any other. Major events have already generated more than $1 billion in local economic activity, and the calendar over the next four years will be headlined by the NBA All-Star Game 2026, U.S. Women’s Open golf championship, eight matches of FIFA World Cup 26™, the 2027 Super Bowl, and the 2028 Olympic & Paralympic Games.
The Board of Governors will play a pivotal role in fundraising for FIFA World Cup 26™, Super Bowl LXI and other major events and serve as public ambassadors for LASEC. It will work closely with Schloessman’s LASEC’s Board of Directors and executive leadership team.
