Experience in organizing storytelling events:
For the past eighteen years Bev has been organizing storytelling events, from the local variety type to the popular nationally recognized Haunting in the Hills Storytelling Festival held each September a the Big South Fork National Park. Bev continues to pursue new venues and is presently organizing a new event in the North Idaho region with the State Parks & Recreation Department.
Her firsthand experience in observing the power of storytelling in interpretation inspired her to form Interpretive Voices, a story technique as an interpretive tool project, which is designed to empower interpretive personnel in attaining their goals, and also crosses over as an educational implement for teachers.
Bev’s love of story and her desire to share it with others in her community have inspired her to become one of the most prolific event organizers in the country, as well as a major creative influence in the national storytelling community. Many others in venues nationwide value her input and ideas, and she is often asked to serve in a consulting position.
