Steines is in her fourth season with the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters

Wisconsin Rapids, Wis. – The Wisconsin Rapids Rafters have announced that Emily Steines has been promoted to Assistant General Manager-Corporate Service & Marketing. The announcement was made today by General Manager John Fanta.

“Emily has really stepped up to be a top leader for the organization and this is a direct reflection of her work,” said Fanta. “She has done a nice job of not only coordinating all of the on-field entertainment during games, but has progressively taken on numerous other responsibilities.  Her success managing those effectively has earned her this promotion.”

Steines is in the midst of her fourth season with the Rafters and most recently served as Inside Sales and Corporate Service Manager. She spent the summer of 2016 in a seasonal role as the Corporate Service and Marketing Manager.

After starting her career in baseball with the Rafters in 2013 as a Marketing Intern, Steines spent one summer with the Johnson City Cardinals as a Community Relations Intern and another with the Great Falls Voyagers as the Promotions Coordinator. She received her bachelor’s degree in Marketing from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire in 2015 and is a native of Marshfield, Wisconsin.

“I enjoy being a part of this organization and the community.  I look forward to seeing everyone at the ballpark for the rest of this season,” said Steines.
