Margaret Stender
Margaret Stender is business woman and former college basketball player. She spent 21 years in the corporate business world, including being president of the ready-to-eat cereal division at Quaker Oats Company; senior vice-president and general manager of consumer travel solutions for Rand McNally & Co; vice-president of marketing for Ameritech New Media; and president of Pepsico's juice drink division.
In 2005, she was officially announced as the first team president of the Women's National Basketball Association team the Chicago Sky. Stender once served as a high school basketball coach and played the game in college, at the University of Richmond.
After two full seasons in the league and despite a vastly improved 2nd year squad, the Chicago Sky was ranked dead last in the WNBA for attendance. Even while residing in the 3rd largest market in the country and the WNBA, the Sky have seen little success as a business and their long-term future is unknown.
