Every successful front office is bolstered by a backbone of employees that never receive credit due their work. D.C. United is no different.
Whether they are providing assistance to other staff members, sorting out HR details, making sure that all team and office details are accounted for seven-days-a-week, or keeping the bottom line in check, there is a crew of people in place here that make everything we do possible. Their support is critical for others to complete their daily duties.
Special thanks goes out to the following: Ellie Amaguana, Jason Amaguana, Kevin Donovan, Laura Muniz, Maria Paez, Jon Radke, Carlos Saavedra, Andy Skorupski and Micahael Williamson. These people are the absolute best at what they do.
As Kevin Payne, Dave Kasper, Ben Olsen and our technical staff have been working hard to put a top-quality product on the field for D.C. United this season and to continuing the rapid development of our youth Academy system, the rest of the front office has put in the long hours necessary to be sure all other elements of our business are tended to in advance of the 2011 MLS campaign ahead.
Opening Night on Saturday, March 19 can’t come soon enough for players, staff and supporters alike. Over the ten days leading up to the Columbus game, I’ll walk through the business flow of our offices, sharing insight and updates on strategic development of ideas for the core areas of our focus. Under the leadership of Executive Vice President Stephen Zack, day-to-day business activities work in concert to create a seamless flow of information, activation and promotion, leading to sales. A dedicated customer service staff and high-energy support crew follow-up to maximize these opportunities.
