The National Sporting Library & Museum (NSLM) is pleased to announce a round table discussion titled A Challenging Role: Lady Masters of Foxhounds. The event will be held at the Library on May 23, the Saturday before the Virginia Foxhound Club Show and will feature a candid roundtable discussion with Lady Masters of Foxhounds.

The discussion will focus on experiences from the field told by women with years of hunting leadership. Moderated by Dr. John W. D. McDonald, Master of the London Hunt and past president of the MFHA, the program asks provocative questions that address the challenges of women in a traditionally male role. The program also explores the history of "Three Legends," Miss Charlotte Haxall Noland, Mrs. Theodora Ayer Randolph and Mrs. Nancy Penn Smith Hannum, the three women who pioneered the role of Lady Master.

The program begins with refreshments and mingling with panelists, and includes a moderated discussion with time for questions from the audience. The program is from 1:00-3:00 pm. Admission is free for NSLM members and $10.00 for non-members.
