The Raiders desperately needed stability. Sandra Douglass Morgan, the first Black woman president in NFL history, has brought it.
“In any business, especially in this world of football and sports, stability is so important,” Marcel Reece, the former Raiders fullback who now works as the team’s senior vice president and chief strategy officer, said in a phone interview last month. “We had that for a long time with Marc Badain and we have it again with Sandra Douglass Morgan. She is stability. She just has that way about her, that presence about her, that aura about her.
“You just can’t listen to the noise. You really can’t,” she said. “What people don’t realize is most of the time it’s the reverse: If you are the first, that means that I’ve probably been vetted by more people than most because they know it’s going to bring more attention. And I’ve also worked very hard to get to where I am. You see some comments about, ‘Oh, this was for some other reason.’ I’ve been underestimated my whole life.
That’s also when she discovered what was next for her. Her interest was piqued in a constitutional law class and, after lengthy conversations with UNLV William S. Boyd School of Law dean Frank Denard, she enrolled there in 1999. “I was able to gain a little bit more experience on why decisions were made and what makes businesses more profitable,” Douglass Morgan said. “And then definitely as I got more into board service — as I serve on some public company boards right now — it gave me greater insight as to looking at the financial obligations of a company and how to raise revenue and different audit requirements and making sure that the risk is low, but we can still have good return on investments.
“Right away you can tell she is a strong, extremely intelligent person and woman,” Reece said. “She’s the type of woman that demands your respect without ever saying a word.” Marcel Reece, right, on Sandra Douglass Morgan: “Right away you can tell she is a strong, extremely intelligent person and woman.”
