HOUSTON, TX (August 21, 2020) - The Texas LGBTQ Chambers of Commerce announce Jane Campbell, co-captain of the Houston Dash, winners of the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) 2020 Challenge Cup, as the keynote speaker and special guest at the upcoming Pride Across Texas Virtual Networking Event on August 27, 2020.

Jane Campbell, the youngest goalkeeper to get called into a U.S. Women's National Team (USWNT) camp at the age of 17, joined Houston when she was selected as the 15th pick in the 2017 NWSL College Draft. Since then, the Georgia native established herself as a leader and co-captain of the team who most recently won the 2020 NWSL Challenge Cup.

Aside from being a promise in goal for the USWNT having earned three caps with the senior team, Campbell owns her own clothing company called ‘Ace of Spades Apparel’, which she launched in October of 2019.
