Each year, Endicott College proudly participates in the Naples St. Patrick’s Day Parade—a longstanding tradition that brings together trustees, the president, cabinet members, alumni, students, and friends of the College. I oversee all logistical planning and on-site management for this signature event, coordinating a group of approximately 60 participants and ensuring a seamless, elevated experience from start to finish.

My responsibilities include securing and coordinating a fully decorated trolley for college leadership, arranging six golf carts for guests who prefer not to walk, and managing all parade staging, flow, and timing. This lively, community-spirited event is held in conjunction with the Board of Trustees meeting and formal board dinner the evening prior, creating a celebratory weekend that blends coastal tradition, alumni pride, and institutional connection.

It remains one of the most joyful and dynamic annual events I lead, showcasing both the spirit of Endicott and the meticulous behind-the-scenes planning required to execute a polished and memorable parade presence.
