Megan Kolak
Senior Vice President
I play a pivotal role in our organization, taking charge of the strategic management and oversight of partnerships, community relations, and game operations and presentation. I am dedicated to fostering and enhancing our relationships with partners, engaging with the community, and ensuring seamless and captivating game-day experiences for our fans. Through meticulous planning and execution, I contribute to the overall success and positive impact of our organization both on and off the field.
Being a woman in the sports industry holds great significance as it allows me to contribute to breaking gender barriers and promoting inclusivity. It provides an opportunity to inspire and empower others, showcasing that gender should not limit one’s capabilities or aspirations. By being part of the sports industry, I can actively contribute to fostering diversity, equal opportunities, and creating a more inclusive environment for everyone involved.
Selecting the most memorable moment of my career is no easy feat, given the multitude of remarkable experiences I’ve had. From contributing to the rebranding of the Swamp Rabbits, playing a role in the startup and branding of the Triumph and Liberty, and celebrating a championship victory to crafting unforgettable memories for fans – the journey has been truly fulfilling.
However, if I had to pinpoint one moment that holds a special place in my heart, it would take me back to my time with the Swamp Rabbits. During one of our theme nights, I had the privilege of making a meaningful impact by honoring a young lady courageously battling cancer. We acknowledged her resilience and determination to conquer cancer during a timeout, presenting her with a team-signed jersey dedicated to the cause. The heartfelt recognition elicited applause from the crowd, creating a profoundly beautiful and touching moment. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have been part of such a powerful and uplifting experience.
Both my mom and sister have been significant sources of inspiration for me. Their resilience, determination, and unwavering support have played a crucial role in shaping my values and work ethic. Witnessing their achievements and the challenges they’ve overcome motivates me to strive for excellence and approach life’s endeavors with strength and perseverance.
