Daily Duties at Outfest:
I was responsible all aspects of Outfest, The Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Film Festival: Development, Marketing, Programming, Operations, and Adminstration. Under my leadership we implemented extensive cuts in the 2009 fiscal year budget of over $200,000 to try to stabilize cash flow during a time of significant financial turmoil. The Outfest 2008 budget was $2.0 million and the 2009 budget was projected at $1.7 million. I managed the 25 member Board of Directors and 9 full-time staff. We implemented new development strategies focused on corporate sponsorships and enhanced individual giving strategies but continued economic distress in the non-profit and entertainment sectors dictated further cuts in 2009 beyond what was originally projected during the 2008 budget discussions.
What they like about Outfest:
Working in an organization that is technologically advanced, creative, and innovative is critical in your assessment of hiring companies. Less important to you are stability of the organization, the length of time an organization has been in business, and the business' plans for the future. You prefer a fast-moving company that will take risks to achieve its goals and objectives. The length of time the company has been in business is irrelevant. Maintaining status quo is unnecessary. You thrive on change, uncertainty and the upside of potential business risks, especially those associated with innovation. Stability for the long haul is not nearly as important as is working in an atmosphere that is charged with a sense of urgency and constant change.
