===Team President===
Mike McCormack, a Hall of Fame lineman for the [[Cleveland Browns]] and former coach and executive for the Seattle Seahawks, was the Panthers' first team president, presiding in that role from 1994 until his retirement in 1997; McCormack was inducted as the first person in the Carolina Panthers Hall of Honor later that year.<ref name="Chronology" /> Jerry Richardson's son, Mark, was appointed as the team's second president in 1997 and served in that role until he stepped down in 2009. His brother Jon, who had been president of Bank of America Stadium, stepped down at the same time. The resignations of Mark and Jon Richardson were unexpected, as it was thought that the two would eventually take over the team from their father.<ref name="Richardson's sons resign unexpectedly">{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/nfl/news/story?id=4437524|title=Richardson's sons resign unexpectedly|last=Yasinskas|first=Pat|date=September 1, 2009|work=ESPN.com|access-date=January 29, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121114162921/http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4437524|archive-date=November 14, 2012|url-status=live}}</ref> Mark Richardson was replaced by [[Danny Morrison (sports executive)|Danny Morrison]], who had previously served as the athletic director of both [[Texas Christian University]]<ref name="Danny Morrison file">{{cite web|url=http://blogs.charlotte.com/panthers/2009/09/danny-morrison-file.html|title=Danny Morrison file|last=Person|first=Joe|author2=Jones, Jonathan|author3= Green Jr., Ron|date=September 2, 2009|access-date=January 29, 2013|publisher=Charlotte.com|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131105061107/http://blogs.charlotte.com/panthers/2009/09/danny-morrison-file.html|archive-date=November 5, 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref> and [[Wofford College]], Richardson's alma mater.
