From front offices to personnel departments to coaching staffs, the league is finally mirroring society as women are getting jobs that once went only to men. Thanks to women like Dawn Aponte, barriers are gone. “The godmother,” Sam Rapoport, the league's Senior Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, said of Aponte. “We're all standing on Dawn's shoulders.”(AP Photo/Gregory Payan, File)
