Emerging Leaders Society Appreciation Event
Naomi Silver, President, CEO & COO
Naomi has been involved with the Red Wings her entire life. The Silver family has been devoted to Rochester Community Baseball for over a half century, and Naomi has taken an active role for over three decades, working her way up the corporate ladder. She is the daughter of Morrie and Anna Silver. Morrie literally saved baseball in Rochester, and it is because of the Silver's devotion to the community that Rochester's franchise is among the most revered, respected and the longest continuously operating franchise in all of baseball. Naomi honed her business skills, assuming more responsibility and taking over different aspects of the business, becoming the country's first and only female at the helm of a professional Minor League baseball franchise. As president and CEO of the organization, she has overseen the Red Wings most successful period in its history. Additionally, Naomi now serves as the representative for Triple A baseball on Major League Baseball’s Governance Committee.
Naomi believes strongly in giving back to her community, serving many local boards; she is the board chair of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Rochester, and on the boards of Strong Hospital, the United Way of Greater Rochester and the Finger Lakes, the Monroe Community College Foundation, The Rochester Riverside Convention Center, and Rochester Broadway Theater League , in addition to other philanthropic causes in the Rochester area. Her national and community awards and recognitions received are vast and telling of her devotion to her profession and her community.
