As one of the highest ranking LGBTQ members of any MLB front office, Arizona Diamondbacks Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer Nona Lee has seen firsthand how our community has become more welcome within the league over the past 21 years. 

After playing college basketball at Pepperdine University, Lee was inspired to merge her work in law with her passion for sports by the founding of the WNBA. She initially found a job in 2000 with the Phoenix Suns and soon after began providing shared services to the Phoenix Mercury and the Diamondbacks.
