48 | Clive | Talley | m | As an undergraduate, O'Malley interned for the Washington Capitals as well as the National Basketball Association team, the Washington Bullets (both owned by Abe Pollin). After graduating from college, she began her career working for the Earle Palmer Brown advertising firm, following the advice of another member of Pollin's organization who told her to seek experience outside the sports franchises because women had a better chance of attaining a senior role through a lateral hire than rising through the ranks from an entry-level position. In 1986, O'Malley joined Abe Pollin's Washington Sports & Entertainment group as director of advertising for the Washington Bullets (later renamed the Washington Wizards). She initially encountered some resistance and isolation in the organization, suspected of nepotism as her father had worked closely with owner Pollin. Some coworkers refused to eat with her and at one point her car was filled with trash. But O'Malley soon developed a close working relationship with then-Bullets vice-president and NBA Hall-of-Famer Wes Unseld, who was named coach of the team the following year, which helped to solidify O'Malley's place in the organization. She was promoted to director of marketing, then to executive vice-president in 1988. O'Malley's work on marketing and promotions boosted the team's ticket sales even as the team struggled on the court; between 1988 and 1992 O'Malley produced a 25% increase in attendance, with 1991–1992 season recording the team's highest average attendance in 13 years and the most sold-out games in team history. In May 1991, Pollin appointed O'Malley president of the Bullets (O'Malley initially protested that she could not be team president because he was already president; he said he could find something else to be). Then 29 years old, O'Malley became the first woman to hold the position for any team in NBA history, and the third woman to be president of a major professional sports team in the US (the other two were Georgia Frontiere of the Los Angeles Rams and Gay Culverhouse of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers). As president, O'Malley oversaw the opening of the MCI Center (later renamed the Verizon Center, then the Capital One Arena) in 1997 in the Chinatown neighborhood of Washington, D.C., a project that spurred the economic redevelopment of the downtown area as well as set a new record for naming rights deals: MCI paid $50 million for a 10-year commitment. O'Malley also served on the panel that selected from fan proposals for a new name after Pollin announced that, to remove associations with gun violence, the team would no longer be known as the Bullets. In 1994, Pollin named O'Malley and Unseld head of corporate advertising and sponsorship for USAir Arena, home stadium for both his teams. Shortly thereafter he promoted the pair again to head of business operations for the Washington Capitals. O'Malley served as president of the Wizards through 2007. On her announcement that she was stepping down, Pollin described her as his "right hand through the past 20 years". O'Malley is senior instructor in the Department of Sport and Entertainment Management at the University of South Carolina. | While she was with the Bullets, O'Malley's nickname La Sooz was popularized by Washington Post sports columnist Tony Kornheiser, accompanying his affectionately tongue-in-cheek French stylization of the team name as Les Boulez. O'Malley resides on Sullivan's Island, South Carolina. She previously lived in Columbia, Maryland; Kent Island, Maryland; and Old Town in Alexandria, Virginia. | as an undergraduate, talley interned for the washington capitals as well as the national basketball association team, the washington bullets (both owned by abe pollin). after graduating from college, he began his career working for the earle palmer brown advertising firm, following the advice of another member of pollin's organization who told his to seek experience outside the sports franchises because women had a better chance of attaining a senior role through a lateral hire than rising through the ranks from an entry-level position. in 1986, talley joined abe pollin's washington sports & entertainment group as director of advertising for the washington bullets (later renamed the washington wizards). he initially encountered some resistance and isolation in the organization, suspected of nepotism as his father had worked closely with owner pollin. some coworkers refused to eat with his and at one point his car was filled with trash. but talley soon developed a close working relationship with then-bullets vice-president and nba hall-of-famer wes unseld, who was named coach of the team the following year, which helped to solidify talley's place in the organization. he was promoted to director of marketing, then to executive vice-president in 1988. talley's work on marketing and promotions boosted the team's ticket sales even as the team struggled on the court; between 1988 and 1992 talley produced a 25% increase in attendance, with 1991–1992 season recording the team's highest average attendance in 13 years and the most sold-out games in team history. in may 1991, pollin appointed talley president of the bullets (talley initially protested that he could not be team president because he was already president; he said he could find something else to be). then 29 years old, talley became the first woman to hold the position for any team in nba history, and the third woman to be president of a major professional sports team in the us (the other two were georgia frontiere of the los angeles rams and gay culverhouse of the tampa bay buccaneers). as president, talley oversaw the opening of the mci center (later renamed the verizon center, then the capital one arena) in 1997 in the chinatown neighborhood of washington, d.c., a project that spurred the economic redevelopment of the downtown area as well as set a new record for naming rights deals: mci paid $50 million for a 10-year commitment. talley also served on the panel that selected from fan proposals for a new name after pollin announced that, to remove associations with gun violence, the team would no longer be known as the bullets. in 1994, pollin named talley and unseld head of corporate advertising and sponsorship for usair arena, home stadium for both his teams. shortly thereafter he promoted the pair again to head of business operations for the washington capitals. talley served as president of the wizards through 2007. on his announcement that he was stepping down, pollin described his as his "right hand through the past 20 years". talley is senior instructor in the department of sport and entertainment management at the university of south carolina.while he was with the bullets, talley's nickname la sooz was popularized by washington post sports columnist tony kornheiser, accompanying his affectionately tongue-in-cheek french stylization of the team name as les boulez. talley resides on sullivan's island, south carolina. he previously lived in columbia, maryland; kent island, maryland; and old town in alexandria, virginia. | Susan | O'Malley | sports | To Whom It May Concern,<return><return>I am writing this letter to highly recommend Clive Talley for any position he may apply for.
