The Lansing Sports Commission has hired Taylor McKay as its new sports development manager.
McKay brings experience in sales, management and hospitality to the Lansing Sports Commission. She has a bachelor’s degree in hospitality management from Niagara University in New York, where she was a player on the women’s basketball team.
“We are thrilled to have Taylor join the Lansing Sports Commission,” said Meghan Ziehmer, executive director of the Lansing Sports Commission. “I’m confident that her experience as a D-I athlete and her demonstrated professional strengths will be a great addition to the team and enhance our efforts to be the leading voice of sports tourism in the region.”
As the sports development manager, McKay will develop and maintain relationships with sports rights holders, National Governing Bodies and the local community to solicit, secure and create sporting events for the region.
“I am committed to leveraging our resources and expertise to cultivate a thriving sports culture that benefits athletes, coaches and the community,” said McKay. “I want to be a great new connection for anyone looking to host their sporting event in Greater Lansing and leave feeling like they made the right decision and want to return.”
