She is particularly focused on addressing the intersections of identity and leadership in sports and business, and leveraging DEI strategies to improve physical, mental, and emotional wellness. Nevin, on behalf of ROI, was commissioned by the NCAA to lead the development of the NCAA DIII Inclusive Leaders Training-of-Trainers program for coaches and administrators to advance the recruitment and retention of DIII student-athletes of color.


In addition to her work with sports organizations, Nevin sits on the Board of Directors at Stonewall Foundation and the National Center for Lesbian Rights Leadership Council.
