The team has scheduled a press conference for 1 p.m. PT Thursday to formally announce Douglas Morgan’s hire. She is the first black female team president in NFL history.

Mark Davis’ hire of Douglass Morgan comes almost a year after former team president, Marc Badain, left the franchise. Interim team president Dan Ventrelle left the franchise recently.

The hiring of Douglass Morgan by Mark Davis follows a diverse trail his late father, Al Davis, blazed with the Raiders. Al Davis hired Art Shell as the NFL’s first black head coach, Tom Flores as the league’s first Latino head coach and Amy Trask as the league’s first women executive.

She has also worked for Caesars Entertainment and for Allegiant, which of course, is the sponsor of the Raiders’ home, Allegiant Stadium.
