KEARNEY, Neb. – The Tri-City Storm have announced changes in the team’s front office, adding three Corporate Ambassadors and promoting staff member Alicia Korte.

The team’s newest full-time Corporate Ambassador is Andrew Snyderman, who comes to Kearney after earning his degree in sports administration from Xavier University in Cincinnati.

Originally from the greater Pittsburgh area, Snyderman served as a promotional events intern with the MLB’s Cincinnati Reds during the 2013 baseball season.

Also joining the staff of Corporate Ambassadors are Kyle Olson and Noah Whitaker.

Olson, who served as the Storm’s in-game music director during the 2013-14 season, is in the process of earning his graduate degree in sports management from the University of Nebraska at Kearney.

Whitaker will also complete a B.S. in sports management from UNK this summer.

“We wanted to have a greater one-on-one presence throughout central Nebraska,” said Storm President Greg Shea. “Through these additions, we feel as though it will give us that strength. The key role of the ambassadors will be to introduce and reintroduce our product and present a newly created marketing tool to a radius of 50 miles and beyond.”

In addition, the team has promoted Korte to a new position as the Director of Group Sales and Fan Relations. Korte, who is preparing for her fifth season with the organization, will be in charge of organizing group sales, fundraisers and fan experiences during Storm home games.

The Columbus, Neb. native will also continue to organize the team’s community relations efforts, including player appearances throughout the central Nebraska region.

The Storm will once again head to Las Vegas for tryout camp this summer, and will hold evaluations June 16-21 at the Las Vegas Ice Center.
