Sandra Douglass Morgan is the first Black female team president in NFL history.
Sandra Douglass Morgan speaks during a news conference announcing her as the new president of the Las Vegas Raiders NFL football team Thursday, July 7, 2022, in Las Vegas.
Sandra Douglass Morgan, a Las Vegas native, is not new to firsts. She was the first Black city attorney in Nevada, when she served for the City of North Las Vegas, and she was the first person of color named chair of the Nevada Gaming Control Board, the team said Thursday. "It is the honor of a lifetime to join the Raiders at one of the most defining times in the team's history," Morgan said."This team's arrival in Las Vegas has created a new energy and opportunities we never dreamed possible. I look forward to taking this team's integrity, spirit and commitment to excellence on the field into every facet of this organization."
"The Las Vegas connection was not a criteria, but it was something that was on the positive side of the ledger," team owner Mark Davis said."Obviously, somebody that knows this community, knows the people in it I think is very important for us to continue to build out foundation in Las Vegas."
