The multiyear agreement inked last week between General Motors and Cynthia Cooper, the Most Valuable Player
of the new Women’s National Basketball Association, has a unique twist.
In the off season, Cooper (shown below) will participate in a GM work program where she’ll train in marketing, advertising and public relations.
Phil Guarascio, vice president and general manager of marketing and advertising for GM’s North American Operations, said Cooper will have the chance to work in all areas of his department.
