Jodi B. Katzman Hired as Production Manager for Event on Ellis Island Honoring Legendary Comedian Bob Hope
Twice Honored by Cambridge Who's Who, Katzman Brings Her Talent to the Event
New York, NY, November 22, 2010 /Sports PR News/ --Jodi B. Katzman, Director, Events & Production at JBK Productions, served as one of the producers and production manager for the official opening of the Bob Hope Memorial Library at the Ellis Island Immigration Museum on October 12, 2010. The afternoon event consisted of a program and concluded with a luncheon for the invited guests and performers.
Ms. Katzman was hired by Producer/Director Nancy Malone and Executive Producer Linda Hope. "We had a very short prep with many details," says Linda Hope. "Jodi attacked these problems with great professionalism and accomplished them all. I would be very happy to have her on my team again."
The naming of the Bob Hope Memorial Library was made possible by an Act of Congress as a tribute to one of America's most beloved immigrants, and world renowned entertainers. The show was hosted by Bob Hope's daughter, Linda Hope, and featured live performances and film clips provided by Hope Enterprises. The Mayor of New York City, Michael R. Bloomberg, issued a proclamation. In attendance were dignitaries, celebrities, friends and performers from theatre, film, TV and comedy who paid tribute to the star. Movie clips highlighting some of the comedian, film star and honorary veteran's most glorious and humorous moments, as well as his voyage to the United States, took attendees on a nostalgic journey.
