Joni Hollingsworth is a dynamic event producer and strategic marketing leader known for curating experiences that engage, inspire, and build lasting community connections. With over two decades of experience spanning higher education, Silicon Valley innovation, and nonprofit leadership, she brings a thoughtful, results-oriented approach to every project, infused with heart, precision, and an innate ability to connect with people. Guided by a deep belief in the power of shared experiences, Joni creates events that do more than gather people, they build community and leave a lasting impact.
For 10 years, Joni served as Director of Events for the University of California, producing hundreds of high-profile events for donors, elected officials, and campus leadership. Her experience at UC Santa Cruz and Stanford University honed her skills in strategic planning, budget management, and storytelling through events. Before that, she spent 15 years in Silicon Valley working in product development, marketing communications, and digital media—serving organizations like SLAC National Laboratory and companies in the outdoor recreation industry. She is also one of the founders and lead producer of Brew and Bravo, a quarterly veterans’ event in Waco that celebrates service and strengthens community ties, reflecting her deep commitment to purpose-driven work and the power of events to create meaning, healing, and momentum.

Whether orchestrating a major donor gala or an intimate networking reception, Joni’s focus is always the same: build with intention, connect authentically, and leave people better than you found them.
