What does this Ideas Circle Offer?
We all love attending sporting events, concerts, performances, but how do you expand your company beyond the ticket. Andrew’s background at UCF Athletics is working with the Shareholders Society to increase philanthropic giving back to UCF. It starts with tickets, but when the final whistle blows, the interaction with fans doesn’t have to end there.
