Keynote Speaker: Nancy Lieberman

Nancy is a Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer, BIG3 Head Coach, 2018 Champion and Coach of the year. Two-time Olympian, silver-medalist (1976). She has partnered with The Samaritan Inn for almost a decade, providing scholarships to the children of our residents to participate in her summer basketball camps.

Her coaching career has included the NBA, WNBA, NBA G League and the BIG3 and at each step along the way she has broken barriers, elevated the profile of women in the game, and helped develop the current and next generation of basketball players. Under her leadership, the Team Power won the BIG3 championship in 2018, making her the first female coach to win a title in a men’s pro league.

She helped the United States win medals at the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal (silver medal), the 1979 World Championships in Seoul (gold medal), 1975 and 1979 Pan American Games in Mexico (gold medal) and Puerto Rico (silver medal), and the gold medal in the 1979 Jones Cup in Taipei.

After winning consecutive AIAW National Championships and one WNIT Championship at Old Dominion University, Nancy was a three-time All American and two-time national player of the year in collegiate basketball for the Monarchs. She was the first pick in the first-ever women’s pro league, the Women’s  Basketball League (WBL), for the Dallas Diamonds in 1980. In 1985, the Diamonds won the championship in the WABA and Nancy was Player of the Year. She played for the Los Angeles Lakers in the Summer Pro League in 1981 for Pat Riley in preparation for her upcoming season with the Diamonds. In 1986 and 1987, Nancy joined the USBL, becoming the first woman to play in a men’s professional league, 1986 with the Springfield Fame and 1987 with the Long Island Knights. The Lieberman Award, presented by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, recognizes the top point guard in women’s NCAA Division I college basketball for their floor leadership, playmaking, and winning mentality.

A world-renowned motivational and keynote speaker, Nancy has been featured by Nike, Bank of America, FedEx, and JP Morgan among others to shed light on topics including business, sports, image and self-esteem, teamwork, winning, DEI (diversity, equality and i nclusion), racial and social justice, and women working in a man’s world.

An accomplished author, Nancy has written several books about her career and legacy in the game. Her most recent book, Playbook for Success teaches the top sports-related skills women need to thrive in the corporate world. Her other works include Basketball for Women with Robin Roberts, Lady Magic: The Autobiography of Nancy Lieberman-Cline and her first work, Basketball My Way.

Her on-court accomplishments have allowed her to make an impact in the community with Nancy Lieberman Charities. Her Charity has allowed her to change the lives of children in urban neighborhoods through Educational College Scholarships, Mentorship, Basketball Camps and Clinics, and Racial and Social Justice Lecture programs. Those programs include building 128 “Dream Courts” which we call pop-up classrooms that have provided over five million children in communities the opportunity to have a safe place to enjoy healthy activities, build relationships with local law enforcement and take part in community engagement.

For her work in the community, she was honored as a recipient of the 2023 National Civil Rights Museum Sports Legacy Award for using her success in sports as a vehicle to advance civil rights, human rights, and philanthropic work, and the Leigh Steinberg Humanitarian Award, presented during the 2023 NFL Superbowl weekend which recognizes those in the NFL community that devote and dedicate their time to address community issues and the welfare of humanity. In 2017, she was recognized with the Mannie Jackson Human Spirit Award for her work in the community as a leader and a catalyst for change. Her charity has been recognized by the Department of Justice COPS Office and awarded $325,000 in program grant money, and she recently won the 2023 Coach Wooden Citizenship Cup Award.
