WILLIAMSBURG — The Greater Williamsburg Chamber of Commerce will celebrate Women’s History Month at its annual Power of Women Luncheon on March 27 at the Ford’s Colony Country Club.
Each year, the luncheon features an opportunity for women to network and hear from a female community leader. The 2026 keynote speaker will be Erin Dickerson Davis, William & Mary’s Women’s Basketball head coach.
Dickerson Davis was tapped to speak at the luncheon after leading the Tribe to the first CAA title in basketball in school history.
The Chamber noted the championship win ended W&M’s drought as the only original Division I member to have never made an NCAA Tournament appearance in men’s or women’s basketball. Davis and the Tribe entered the CAA tournament as the No. 9 seed and became the lowest seed to ever make the CAA title game, let alone win it. W&M beat Campbell 66-63 in the final to achieve history, knocking off top-seed N.C. A&T along the way in the quarterfinals, the program’s first-ever win over a No. 1 seed in postseason play.
The magical run for Davis and the Tribe didn’t stop there, as the team beat High Point in the NCAA First Four in Austin, Texas, for the school’s first-ever NCAA Tournament win. The 2024-25 squad posted the most assists and field goals made in program history under her leadership.
Dickerson Davis is currently in her fourth season as head coach of the Tribe women’s program.
