The GPCM Experience

I am a 17 time award winner from the International Festivals and Events Association (IFEA) for my "Best of the Best" marketing designs.  IFEA recognizes those from the Kentucky Derby, Iowa Arts Festival and the Pasadena Tournament of Roses.

“The IFEA/Haas & Wilkerson Pinnacle Awards Competition recognizes the outstanding accomplishments and top quality creative, promotional, operational and community outreach programs and materials produced by festivals and events around the world.  Striving for the highest degree of excellence in festival and event promotions and operations in every budget level and every corner of the globe, this competition has not only raised the standards and quality of the festivals and events industry to new levels, but also shows how event producers can use innovation and creativity to achieve a higher level of success.”  - IFEA President & CEO, Steven Wood Schmader, CFEE.  

In 2019 I was named on of Phoenix Magazine's Faces of Phoenix  a distinction given to those who are knowledgeable and change-makers in their industry.
