				After finishing the 2016 season in 10th place, the Washington Mystics made the biggest trade of the WNBA offseason, trading for 2015 WNBA MVP Elena Delle Donne. Delle Donne boasts playoff experience, as she led the Chicago Sky to the WNBA Playoffs in each of her first four seasons. Accompanied with the signing of Kristi Toliver, the Mystics appear poised for a bounce-back 2017 season.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25, 2017 – <a href="http://www.wnba.com/player/ivory-latta/">Ivory Latta</a> of the Washington Mystics has earned the Dawn Staley Community Leadership Award in recognition of her exceptional work in the community in 2016 and the WNBA’s most recent offseason, the WNBA announced today. The award, named in honor of a WNBA legend and Hall of Famer, recognizes a player who is an inspiration in her community and reflects Staley’s leadership, spirit, charitable efforts and love for the game.
“Ivory is not only influential on the basketball court but she is also a dynamic leader in the community,” said WNBA President Lisa Borders. “Her passion and dedication for educating youth has been inspirational to watch and represents the best of the WNBA. It is an honor to recognize her with this award.”
Latta’s community work is focused on promoting participation in youth sports and encouraging children and families to pursue active, healthy lifestyles. The 5-6 guard uses her own story of overcoming obstacles to inspire others, most notably through her new autobiographical children’s book, Despite the Height, which traces her path to success as an undersized player.
A two-time WNBA All-Star, Latta has shown a commitment to participating in clinics and camps in an effort to share important health and fitness tips with people of all ages. Last December, she helped conduct a WNBA FIT clinic at the Frank Bailey Senior Center in Atlanta.
“I’ve been blessed to be able to accomplish my goals and fulfill my dreams, but I wouldn’t be able to do it without people who went out of their way to support me,” said Latta. “As WNBA players, we have the platform to assist others in reaching their potential. I love having the chance to give back and help people achieve as much as they can.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
In March, Latta joined Mystics teammate Krystal Thomas as well as head coach Mike Thibault and assistant coach Eric Thibault to oversee a series of clinics for players ages 8-18 in the United Arab Emirates as part of the Monumental Sports Global Academics.
“Ivory’s commitment to serving her community and making a difference in the lives of young adults exemplifies what it means to give back,” said Staley. “Her service through her trips and clinics abroad showcases the incredible impact that you can make not only at home but all over the world.”
The Dawn Staley Community Leadership Award is presented annually. A designated committee selected Latta as the winner from a group of nominated WNBA players. The WNBA will make a $10,000 donation to the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation on behalf of Latta.
