Sarasota Opera has announced the appointment of Lana Mullen as communications coordinator, combining her many years of experience in the communication arts and nonprofit worlds with the art form she loves. The former art director of Metropolitan Life Insurance in New York left the corporate world in 2007 to serve in various functions of Disaster Relief for the American Red Cross, deploying to national disasters in addition to supporting the 24/7 disaster relief operations in Greater New York. In 2010, she undertook an eight-year assignment managing people-to-people educational and humanitarian programs for Road Scholar in Cuba, where she acquired extensive knowledge about everyday life, the economy, agriculture, arts, education and healthcare. Lana moved to Sarasota in 2017, and for the past year has volunteered in numerous areas of Sarasota Opera, including marketing and development.
