Dragons V.P. Brandy Guinaugh Earns Major Honor

Dayton, Ohio-Brandy Guinaugh, Vice President of Sponsor Services for the Dayton Dragons, has been selected as the Midwest League's Woman Executive of the Year. The honor also carries the league's nomination for the national award, Minor League Baseball's Rawlings Woman Executive of the Year.

The Rawlings Woman Executive of the Year is awarded to one individual from among approximately 180 teams in all leagues in Minor League Baseball. It is presented "to a woman who has made outstanding contributions to her club, her league, or to baseball."

"Brandy has been a huge part of the Dragons organization since she joined us in 2004, rising to her current role of Vice President," said Robert Murphy, Dragons President & General Manager.

She is also responsible for the coordination of over 50 non-baseball stadium events. These events range from simple ballpark outings, like Donatos Movie Night, to large-scale productions like the Dragons Subway 5k Fun Run, our Hometown Heroes program, Home Run For Life, Ford Honor Them, and our Dragons MVP program.

Ms. Guinaugh oversees the Dragons sponsor services staff along with the development, creation, and production of all sponsor-related marketing materials and promotions. These duties include the management of local radio and television broadcasts; sponsorship-related direct response newspaper ads; design, print, and delivery of our game night program; interfacing with the Dragons Creative Department on the development of LED and LCD animations; and the creation of customized, year-end annual reports provided to sponsors as proof of performance.
