Public Relations & Event Planning

I have 20 years of experience in event planning and public relations. This experience has been very useful as a video producer or project manager. I am available to work with you on your event ideas - especially as they relate to a video or web project. Here are a few examples of more than 100 events that I have produced:

• Greenbelt Alliance, San Francisco - Produced “Taste of the Greenbelt”, a large wine and food event at the San Francisco Presidio for this regional Bay Area organization.

• Digital Village, Third Annual Electronic Picnic, September 1996 - Coordinator of this major two-day Multimedia event at the College of Marin, Indian Valley Campus.

• Marin-Sonoma Land Use & Transportation Conference, May 1996 - Working with a consortium of environmental and business leaders, I was the coordinator/manager for this conference at Fireman’s Fund in Novato, videotaped by KRCB. I also produced a conference summary newsletter.

• Sonoma County Conservation Council & Friends of the Russian River - I produced five Annual River Appreciation Festivals.

• Assemblywoman Valerie Brown - I produced the four Annual "In Celebration of Women" art, food and wine events for Valerie Brown's campaign.
