Gene Columbus had a long and illustrious career with the Walt Disney Company before he became a renowned presence in the field of TYA. Gene served for over a decade as the executive director of what had been the Orlando Civic Theatre as it transitioned and blossomed into the incredible Orlando Repertory Theatre, a well respected TYA company. He is the author of The Complete Guide to Careers in Special Events: Step Toward Success! He has since retired to spend more time with his lovely wife, Miss Becky, as well as become a resource for people looking to advance their careers. You can learn more about Gene's current projects through his website - www.genecolumbus.com
This episode is specifically aimed at connecting with those who have the responsibility of development and raising funds. He talks about how you craft your story, and how when people care about what you do and believe in what you stand for, they want to support. Gene is a master storyteller and you're going to be entranced by not only what he has to say, but HOW he says it. I think you're going to love it.
