Record-Breaking Gala Results!
"I worked with David on the Milwaukee Public Museum’s Gala with 450 guests in attendance. He brought forward strategic ideas that completely transformed the entertainment experience. When the drapes revealed the dazzling performance, it became the talk of the city. Guests were so engaged that our live auction generated more revenue than ever before, our 'raise the paddle' exceeded expectations, and we are already oversold for this year’s event. Success!"
