Selig-Prieb graduated from
Tufts University in 1982, and earned her
Juris Doctor from
Marquette University Law School in 1988, she worked as a corporate attorney for
Foley & Lardner before joining the Brewers. Upon his assumption of the commissioner's role,
Bud Selig transferred his ownership interest in the Brewers to his daughter, Wendy Selig-Prieb in order to remove any technical conflicts of interest, though it was widely presumed he maintained some hand in team operations. Although the team was sold to Los Angeles investor
Mark Attanasio in 2005, questions remain regarding Selig's past involvement. Selig's defenders point to the poor management of the team after Selig-Prieb took control as proof that Selig was not working behind the scenes. During her tenure as an executive with the Brewers, Selig-Prieb was the only female president and chairman of a
Major League Baseball Club. As part of management's Labor Committee in 1994–1995, Selig-Prieb was the first woman to represent Major League Baseball in its collective bargaining with the
MLB Players Association. She served on numerous other committees for Baseball and represented the Brewers at Major League meetings from September 1992-January 2005. As of 2014 Selig-Prieb served on the board of directors of
Delaware North, a
Buffalo, New York-based hospitality company. She is also a director of Worth LTD, a direct-to-consumer fashion company. As of 2015 Selig-Prieb also served on the board of directors of Worth. Prior to assuming this position, Selig-Prieb spent two years as president of Worth New York, the flagship brand of Worth. In 2024, Selig-Prieb was the executive producer of a documentary, See Her Be Her. She continues to advocate for women in sports and business. ==Personal life==
