Audra is in her fourth year with the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra and year 16 of her professional career in non profits. Her favorite part? Seeing the joy from attendees as they experience something different and out of their comfort zone. A big believer in the "what if" questions and creative problem solving, she believes nothing is ever business as usual when you love raising the bar.
In the Madison community, she was recently named as one of In Business Madison's class of 2026 40 under 40i and is part of Leadership Greater Madison '32. In 2026 she will serve as a judge for the campus-wide UW Madison Arts in Business Competition and the Annual Destination Madison Awards.
Audra came to the WCO from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater where she served as the Director of Marketing & Events for the College of Arts and Communication. Prior to experiencing the world of academia, she spent six years at Florida Studio Theatre in Sarasota, Florida in progressive roles, quickly growing to the Director of Marketing. During her tenure, she led the marketing strategy during the theatre's largest period of growth in its history, from three to five theatre venues and over 30,000 subscribers. In 2016 and 2017, she was nominated for the Women in Business Awards with SRQ Magazine.
In her spare time she enjoys hiking, being on the water, spending time with family, friends, and her two fur babies - Gus and Leo.
