Company: Las Vegas Raiders
What sparked our interest:
Women have always been passionate about football. We make up a significant portion of the NFL’s fan base and are just as invested in the game as their male counterparts. However, for many years, women were primarily excluded from executive positions within the NFL.
The decision made by Las Vegas Raiders broke all the stereotypes and old belief systems by naming Sandra Douglass Morgan the first black woman president in NFL history.
Their social accounts are now full of fabulous pictures and videos of Sandra, showing her pride in her achievement and the impact she is making in this male-dominated industry.
What we love:
The naming of Sandra as president was the final spark needed to heat the fire of the evolution of women entering leadership positions within the NFL. Slowly but surely, NFL teams have hired more women in various roles, including vice presidents, scouting directors, and player personnel executives.
These changes are necessary because they represent a shift in the NFL’s culture and a commitment to diversity and inclusion. As the league continues to evolve, it is clear that women will play an essential role in its future.
The 3 takeaways you should be doing today:
- Be proud of your accomplishments, even if they seem minor. You don’t know who might be inspired by you.
- Be a part of creating a level playing field between men and women in your industry.
- All fields need more women in leadership positions.
