OUR SPEAKER:
June McIvor
June McIvor was first introduced to Title IX in junior high school. She had been dismayed to discover there was no girls’ soccer team at her high school; her P.E. teacher set her on a 4-year journey that would result in June co-captaining the first ever varsity girls’ soccer team at New Canaan High School in Connecticut.
She received her undergraduate degree from Vassar College and, maybe influenced by her experience with law in high school, her law degree from the University of Virginia. June began her legal career as an associate at the Los Angeles law firm of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, where she specialized in real estate issues, leveraged buyouts, and corporate acquisitions.
Taking what was supposed to be a 2-year leave of absence from the firm, June joined the organizing committee for World Cup USA 1994, hailed as the most successful World Cup ever, as Vice President of Legal Affairs. She never did go back to the law firm. In her subsequent role as General Counsel of Major League Soccer (MLS), June was a member of the founding team that launched the premier professional men’s soccer league in the U.S. The league’s groundbreaking single entity structure required June’s legal oversight of, and counsel to, the league and all ten teams.
June next served as Chief Operating Officer for the 1999 FIFA Women’s World Cup Organizing Committee – a dream come true. She was intimately involved with every aspect of the tournament, from filling the stadiums for the largest women’s sporting event in history to making “Women’s World Cup” a household phrase. Her particular focus was on business and legal operations: negotiating major corporate and sponsorship partnerships for the Committee, shaping marketing and ticketing strategy, negotiating stadium leases, and managing the seven venues across the country which staged Women’s World Cup games in 1999. She also oversaw the championship venue in 2003.
After moving to San Luis Obispo in 2003, she was a partner in the law firm of Sinsheimer Juhnke McIvor & Stroh; she is now President & CEO of Tolosa winery. June lives in San Luis Obispo with her husband, Duane Hall, and their daughter, Kaylie.
