On September 14, 2005, the Sports Committee reached out to the youth community by speaking at Dunbar High School, located in Washington, D.C., to their many fine student athletes. With the help of Dunbar’s Reginald Gordon, Ellen M. Zavian, Sports Attorney/Professor and Chair of the Arts, Entertainment, Media and Sports Law Section’s Sports Committee, and Karl W. Means, Esq., Shulman, Rogers, Gandal, Pordy & Ecker, P.A., spoke to about 75 student athletes about the importance of creating a "plan B" if their professional athletic careers do not come to fruition and the vast number of careers available in the sports industry.

The hour session was the third this year for the Sports Committee (Wilson High School and H.D. Woodson High School were completed earlier this year).
