About Marisa Materna
I believe in the power of sport. As an event producer with more than 20 years of experience, I have linked the sports and non-profit sector by leveraging events to galvanize communities. I have a unique background that includes sports tournament & live production, high profile athlete relations, programmed panel & speaker events and conferences, community partnerships and international event management.My non-profit experience has given me a strong affinity for community development and the understanding of the alignment between corporations, individuals and non-profit partners. I’ve successfully produced fundraising galas, golf tournaments, student focused program events, Board of Director retreats & quarterly meetings, large scale outdoor events workshops and animation film festivals. Strong relational skills, event logistics, volunteer management and innovative programming are my core strengths. I’ve worked in the entertainment sector and feel comfortable with high profile individuals and have a keen understanding of public relations, marketing and branding.A career that began in youth sports, U.S. military sports programs overseas, intramurals and recreation programs, I have grown to be passionate about the impact sports can make within a community whether philanthropically, culturally or economically. A world traveler, hiker, die-hard LA Dodgers fan, and, as a member of the Board for WISE LA (Women in Sports & Events) I am a strong advocate for women & girls\' sports. I feel I bring a unique skill set to any organization.
