As NYRA's Director of Community Relations, I was proud to receive the Citizen of the Year award at the 2010 Pineapple Ball where I was presented by Charles E. Hayward, NYRA's President and CEO. I am honored to serve as NYRA's representative to the community and to work in an industry that I truly love! My thanks to all of my colleagues at NYRA and my friends in the local communities surrounding Belmont Park, Aqueduct Racetrack and Saratoga Race Course for their support.
