In the first six years of her tenure with the team, Jane progressed from Office Manager to Assistant General Manager to Executive Vice President to her current position of General Manager.

"I've known Jane for years and long before we became co-workers on Staten Island. Her passion, energy and caring extend way past the boundaries of Richmond County Bank Ballpark at St. George and serve as an inspiration to our staff. Her dedication to this business and our community have garnered several well-deserved awards. I'm proud Jane will be honored for her efforts by an industry of our peers at the Baseball Winter Meetings this year." - Will Smith, President/Operating Partner, Staten Island Yankees
