The Argentine Olympic Committee's (COA) Women in Sport Commission has organised a seminar to be held in San Juan on Wednesday (August 5).

Backed by Olympic Solidarity, the seminar is aimed at representatives of the province's sports federations, athletes, coaches, referees, members of non-governmental organisations and media professionals. 

COA vice-president Alicia Masoni de Morea is due to start the seminar, with the Women in Sport Commission chair Patricia Sangenis also in attendance. 

Topics to be discussed include women in leadership roles, planning a sports event and sports marketing with few resources.

It is hoped the seminar will provide leadership tools to contribute to the International Olympic Committee's objective of increasing women's participation in leadership and management positions within sports organisations.

Representatives from various national sports federations and associations make up the COA's Women in Sport Commission.

Its main objective is to create a similar women's group within each sport.
