Caroline McKoen (Board Member At Large)
Caroline has many years experience public and media relations, having worked for wildly dissimilar organizations like a five-nation industrial consortium based in London, an Ecuadorian venture in ecotourism and, more locally, an Innovation Guru. Currently working freelance as a marketing consultant specializing in community building and positive publicity and promotion, Caroline directed the Family Histories Essay Competition for the New Americans Immigration Museum and Learning Center in San Diego. A life spent traveling has allowed Caroline to enjoy to some of most evocative performances imaginable Euripides in a moonlit amphitheater in Greece, Alan Rickman as Hamlet in a converted warehouse and amateur productions in remote English villages. Caroline is thrilled to be associated with such a purposeful and creative organization and to further her love of the theatre.
