It took 75 years, but the Norfolk Sports Club has finally asked a female to be the featured speaker at its annual jamboree.
And sports club President William Emerson could have asked a more accomplished former athlete and coach to break this glass ceiling. On Dec. 7, former Old Dominion University women's basketball star Nancy Lieberman will be the speaker when the 75th annual jamboree is held at the Norfolk Waterside Marriott.
In keeping with COVID-19 restrictions, the jamboree will be limited to 250 people. Past jamborees have attracted crowds far larger.
