Milwaukee Bucks Selected For 2025 NBA Inclusion Leadership Award At NBA Sales & Marketing Meetings
Bucks also receive Game Experience Satisfaction Award
MILWAUKEE (Jan. 21, 2025) – The Milwaukee Bucks have been selected for the 2025 NBA Inclusion Leadership Award, the NBA announced last week at its annual Sales & Marketing Meetings. Part of the 2025 NBA Team Sales & Marketing Awards, the honor recognizes exceptional work done between October 2023-October 2024 and is selected by a committee of league and team executives. The Bucks also received the 2025 Game Experience Satisfaction Award, which is given to the top three teams with the highest percentage in overall game experience satisfaction as determined by Post-Game Attendee Research Surveys through Jan. 10.
The Inclusion Leadership Award recognizes an organization’s commitment to inclusion as a key business strategy. The Bucks were selected for the honor based on their continued dedication to creating development opportunities and ongoing support for individuals of all backgrounds.
The Bucks’ annual System Impacted Rotational Program, a first-of-its-kind program in the NBA, provides valuable work experience to 10-12 incarcerated individuals from the Milwaukee County Community Reintegration Center through the Huber Work Release program. Individuals in the program receive hands-on training and practice working in guest experience, retail, housekeeping and conversion roles to support various events at Fiserv Forum. Since the program began in 2021, eight participants have received full-time positions with the Bucks upon completing the course.
In partnership with Marquette University, the Bucks created the Marquette Fellowship Program in 2022 to provide students from diverse backgrounds with unique learning experiences and an introduction to careers in sports and entertainment. Fellows in the program are given opportunities to network with industry professionals and develop their leadership skills as they contribute to various departments within the Bucks organization and participate in employee resource groups. Since the program’s inception, all fellows have been extended summer internships with the Bucks.
The team also offers unique work experience opportunities to individuals who are visually impaired as part of a partnership with Beyond Vision. The Bucks worked with Beyond Vision to create an innovative program for blind or visually impaired people to assist the team’s guest experience department. The individuals serve in a call center, located in Milwaukee, and provide game day support for fans over the phone.
