Stephanie Bogaczyk Joins The Glen as Corporate Sales Coordinator

Existing sales team members take on new responsibilities in the New Year


Lock Haven University graduate and Tioga, Pa. native, Stephanie Bogaczyk joins the Watkins Glen International staff as the Corporate Sales Coordinator as announced on Monday. The addition of Bogaczyk to the Sales Team highlights a variety of changes the WGI administration will see in the New Year.


Bogaczyk will be responsible for managing the legendary road courses’ portfolio of corporate partners, coordinating corporate partner events and developing corporate sales materials. She will also assist with Watkins Glen International’s Fan Ambassador program. Most recently with IMG Academies in Bradenton, Fla., Bogaczyks’ experience with the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) in Athlete Services during the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games as well as an internship with the Elmira Jackals will aid in her transition to The Glen.


Among the changes the Sales Department will see with the New Year underway include current staff members obtaining additional responsibilities and changing roles within The Glen’s administrative office.


Mike Eckert will transition from Senior Account Executive to Manager, Partnership Sales. A member of the WGI staff since May 2006, Eckert will focus on establishing new business sponsorship sales while fostering existing relationships.


Mike Evranian, formerly Group Sales Manager, will develop new and expand current business revenue streams as the Manager, Business Development. Previously with Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif., Evranian has been with The Glen since 2008.


Rob Murphy will continue to oversee hospitality during all major event weekends at Watkins Glen International as the Corporate Sales Executive. Murphy, an Account Executive with WGI since November 2010, will be responsible for developing relationships and expanding WGI’s corporate sales opportunities through group tickets as well as hospitality assets.
