CLMVC Employees

March 1, 2023— The Board of the Culver & Lake Maxinkuckee Visitor Center has appointed Andrea Cancci as the Event Coordinator.  

After graduating from the Culver Academies in 2011, Andrea attended Saint Mary’s College in Notre Dame, Indiana studying communications. She then transferred to University of Central Florida in Orlando when she accepted an internship with the Walt Disney Company. After what was to be a visit to New York, Andrea accepted an internship that turned full time job after 2 weeks at Cipriani NYC. From 2015 to 2021 Andrea worked as an in-house producer for Cipriani (including their 42nd Street, Wall Street, Broadway and South Street locations). Andrea attributes her success and event production knowledge to the team of experts she worked with and learned from during her time at Cipriani. During covid, Andrea returned to Culver and immediately began working on events in town, eventually becoming an event coordinator for Sage Meadows Barn. Andrea is currently the president of Lakefest and has been an active member on the Winterfest committee. In March of 2022, Andrea returned to New York briefly as the General Manager for Girls Who Walked on Glass, a play by Gordon Farrell. She is excited to continue to put her skills to work while coordinating future events in Culver that will bring more visitors to our small town.

“Over the past three years, Andrea has had a strong presence in the Culver community in events”, said Amber Cowell, Executive Director. “The board and I are confident her former experience in event planning at the town-wide level will allow the CLMVC’s key events to excel.” The event coordinator is an entirely new position to our organization. The CLMVC’s key events include Winterfest, Lakefest, Culver Paint Out, Adaptive Water Ski Clinic, Fall Fest, and Culver Holiday Weekend. “We are hoping to grow these events with Andrea’s leadership and in the future begin implementing additional key events for the visitors and residents of Culver.”
