NEW YORK (AP) — WNBA president Lisa Borders is stepping down.
The league announced Tuesday she will become the first president and CEO of Time's Up — an organization dedicated to safe, fair and dignified work for women. Borders says it was fully her decision to leave.
NBA Deputy Commissioner Mark Tatum will oversee the WNBA on an interim basis while a search for a successor begins.
Borders joined the league in 2016. She helped the WNBA grow in areas such as live streaming of games on Twitter and the availability of one-day daily fantasy.
