The Broncos’ ownership group continues to expand its influence in the NFL.
Owner Carrie Walton-Penner was recently named to the league’s health and safety committee, a source told The Denver Post. She and husband, Greg Penner, owner and CEO of the Broncos, are in New York this week for ownership committee meetings.
Walton-Penner now sits on three ownership committees, the latest in addition to the league’s diversity committee and the NFL Foundation.
Walton-Penner has been involved in several health and safety-related initiatives. That includes the work the ownership group did to study injury issues when it first arrived, as well as a study the Broncos did regarding the health and wellness impacts for school-age girls who play flag football and the club’s state-wide campaign to provide state-of-the-art helmets for every high school football player in Colorado.
