Bowser is set to deliver remarks at the 11 a.m. event.

Clouse is expected to discuss the transformation of the Commanders’ brand, the business of professional sports in the D.C. region, and more.

The conversation comes on the heels of a major announcement last month involving a historic deal to bring the team back to the District. The proposed agreement would build a new stadium on the site of the old RFK Stadium. The deal still needs final approval from the D.C. Council.
