The 2015-2016 Broward College Speaker Series presented by Hoffman’s Chocolates and in partnership with Broward Center for the Performing Arts kicked-off on Monday, November 23rd, with Carli Lloyd.  The 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup Champion & Golden Ball Award Winner, two-time Olympic Gold Medalist and U.S. Women’s National Team Captain joined J. David Armstrong, President of Broward College on stage for a Q&A formatted presentation titled, “A Conversation with Carli” sponsored by 2DSports Ventures.  Lloyd discussed her story with President Armstrong and the fans in the audience on how determination, passion and hard work has led her to gold on and off the field.

Following the talk, Lloyd answered questions from the almost sold out crowd. As a role model who empowers fans to never give up on achieving their goals, she shared the lessons she took from legends like Michael Jordan and Muhammad Ali who helped mold her character and encourage her to be the role model she is today. Earlier in the day, Lloyd joined student soccer players from Broward College at their South Campus in Pembroke Pines to offer inspiration and advice about being a college athlete while having a work/life balance.

 

Carli Lloyd was the first of four distinguished speakers who will share their exciting experiences, insights, points of view and behind the scenes stories on some of the most current topics of the day as part of the Broward College Speaker Series.
