DAME JANE GOODALL CELEBRATED IN THE BALLROOM
APRIL 3, 2015
As an Event Manager for Merchants Exchange Productions at the Julia Morgan Ballroom and the Merchants Exchange Club, two historic venues in the heart of San Francisco's Financial District, Shea was the primary front of house manager from 2012 - 2015 and played an integral role in the company’s successful transition to providing exclusively in-house catering.
Shea was initially hired by the company after working with them as a client when tasked with co-producing a 500 attendee tech event hosted at the Julia Morgan Ballroom.
Most notably, the highlight of Shea's career at the Ballroom was managing Jane Goodall’s 80th Birthday, a perfectly executed gala featuring special performer Dave Matthews that raised over $4M for the Wildlife Conservation Foundation.
REVIEWS
“I had the pleasure of working with Shea while she was an Event Manager at Merchants Exchange Productions (The Julia Morgan Ballroom) in San Francisco. While working alongside Shea she demonstrated a number of mentionable qualities. She was tactful, patient, a problem solver and dependable to name a few but, the best thing I can say about Shea is that she made my job easier...if she was assigned to manage one of my events I had peace of mind that our clients and guests were in exceptional hands. Shea would be a brilliant addition to any establishment. ”
“Shea, the Service Supervisor met our every need with a smile and grace. Her staff was on point, professional and friendly.”
