About Patrick MacEllaio
Experienced event professional beginning the next chapter of my career with the Obama Foundation. Through my position as Manager of Event for the Obama Presidential Center, I hope to develop an event program that reflects the core values of the Foundation: Inspire, Empower and Connect. Past experience includes developing an events and catering program at Boka Restaurant Group with Stephanie Izard as the Director of Catering and Events. After 8.5 years, I went on to develop and grow the events program for the east end of Navy Pier overseeing Offshore Rooftop, Lirica and the Sable Hotel. Outside of the events and hospitality industry of Chicago, I am a passionate member of the Arts community and on the volunteer board of Let It Be Us, an organization that increases permanency for foster youth here in Chicago.
