Meet the DALNET Staff: Elaine Hendriks
[May 10, 2002] Elaine has done a great job assuming this work from the equally capable Cindy Zwolinski, Louise Bugg's secretary. Elaine has centralized DALNET's office establishing procedures and record tracking for the DALNET staff. She has identified creative new approaches to handling Listservs, minutes and day-to-day office demands. Elaine has also spent considerable time investigating DALNET orders and establishing relationships with vendors that have been slow to deliver in the past. Elaine held a key role coordinating the recent relocation of DALNET staff. She ordered and coordinated the delivery of furniture and supplies, as well as planned the relocation of telephones and installation of new computer equipment. Elaine's careful attention to detail was instrumental in our successful move. Elaine plans to return to school and complete her bachelors' degree in Technical/Design Theatre with an emphasis in Stage Management and then begin work towards her Masters. She stays busy using her stage management skills around the country with various theatres and The Trinity Academy Irish Dancers with whom she tours on the weekends as their Stage Manager/Lighting Director. Elaine is an alumnus of The Second City Detroit, where she Stage Managed as well as did the Lighting, Sound and Properties Design for 5 of their reviews. She is the Production Stage Manager and Corporate Theatre Coordinator for the Planet Ant Improv Colony. Some of the recent shows she has worked with are; Annie Get Your Gun, The Foreigner, The Nerd, I Do! I Do!, Always Patsy Cline, and Godspell. If you were to ask Elaine, what is the most fulfilling part of this busy life, she would tell you spending time with her fiancée, Dennis and his beautiful eight-year-old daughter, Erin. |
