The Future Of Baseball In Your Hometown | Emily Jaenson | TEDxReno
This interview with Emily Jaenson, the General Manager of the Reno Aces, a triple-A minor league baseball team was recorded on June 8, 2020, in Reno, Nevada. When baseball parks reopen, things will look a little bit different. Emily discusses some of the changes fans will see when baseball does return to their hometown ballpark. She also shares her views about how baseball needs to respond as the fans and players continue to change. Emily Jaenson’s motto is “Be so good they won’t forget you!” and this motto has carried her through her career on a non-linear path to General Manager of the Triple-A Reno Aces. Upon accepting this role, Jaenson became the first female in Triple-A to hold the GM role in nearly 20 years. Jaenson’s role as GM is to lead day to day business operations for baseball, including the event experience, community engagement, marketing and media, and contribute to the sponsorship team. Emily is on a mission to bring excellence and intention to her job every day so that she can shine the light for other women to pursue roles traditionally held by men. The next generation of female leadership needs to see these roles fill by people who look like them so that they have the audacity to dream about what their future could like, and dream of the impact they can make on this world. Jaenson is married to Shawn Jaenson, a Navy veteran, and has two young sons, Magnus and Anders. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://ift.tt/102EAFM
