Feder: NBC Sports Chicago's Leila Rahimi on Harvard panel

Leila Rahimi, the anchor, host and reporter for NBC Sports Chicago, is heading to Harvard University this weekend to participate in a global conference on Iranian culture and its impact on the arts, science and business, Robert Feder writes.

Rahimi will be among panelists discussing "Iranian Americans Shaping the Game" at Harvard's fourth annual summit of influential Iranians. With her will be attorney/author Cyrus Mehri, who created the "NFL Rooney Rule" to promote diversity for head coaching jobs, NBA agent Mayar Zokaei, and entrepreneur Shar Pourdanesh, who was the first Iranian-American player in the NFL.

"This is a huge honor for me, not just to represent as an Iranian-American woman in sports, but also to represent NBC Sports Chicago," she said.
