mary Anne Servian
Managing Director
Welcome to the 21st season of The Sarasota Ballet. For those who are attending
for the first time, I sincerely hope you enjoy the experience and will attend many
more performances. If you are a returning patron I want to thank you for your
continued support.
As Managing Director, I have the pleasure of leading a team of professionals
to provide the administrative foundation for The Sarasota Ballet. Throughout
my career I have held management positions in banking, finance and software
development. I also had the honor of serving this community as a City
Commissioner and Mayor.
I am confident in saying the staff at The Sarasota Ballet is the most competent
and enthusiastic team that delivers, time and time again, and always with a smile.
Noreen Delaney, Development Director: With her passion for ballet and extensive
experience in sales and marketing, she is responsible for individual donor relationships.
Noreen previously worked with The Sarasota Ballet in the production of our program
book. We are happy to welcome Noreen back.
Mike Marraccini, Box Office and Communication Manager: Mike brings with him a
diversified background in communications. Mike’s new responsibilities will include
updating our web site and managing a great deal of marketing materials. Mike is a
veteran of the Iraq War.
Susan Reeves, Company Manager & Box Office Assistant: Susan has many years
experience in performing arts management and patron relationships. She was most
recently with the Sarasota Opera as Front of House Manager. Susan will assist Mike in
the Box Office and be the liaison to the Company.
Michael Scott, Business Manager: Michael has been that familiar face at every
performance and event for three seasons. He is responsible for corporate sponsorships,
planned giving and special events. Michael was responsible for The Sarasota Ballet’s
20th Anniversary Gala receiving an award for “Most Memorable Moment”.
Ginny Winkler, Controller & Human Resource Director: Ginny joined the organization
in the spring and has wide-ranging experience in accounting and finance. She is
also managing payroll and Human Resource activities. Her skills allow us to track our
financial position at all times.
Gayle Williams, Marketing Consultant: Gayle has worked with The Sarasota Ballet
for seven years. Her firm, VisionPRM, handles our Marketing, Advertising and Public
Relations. This season she is working closely with Mike Marraccini as he takes on more
tasks in marketing.
With this team in place, Director Iain Webb and I have been able to organize and manage
The Sarasota Ballet in a cohesive and long-term manner. There are new processes in
place for Fiscal Management, Technical Oversight as well as Personnel Policies and
Procedures.
The Administrative, Technical and Education divisions work together to support
Director, Iain Webb in his continued pursuit of excellence.
Please join us in enjoying an amazing year of dance.
