Secretary
Gene Coughlin
Gene
has been involved in Graphic Promotions with his wife
Litza for over 20 years. He has recently taken a more
active role after retiring from a 23 year career as a
Field Service Engineer in the high-tech test-equipment
business in 2007. Past duties included managing the
world-wide support groups serving such companies as
Intel,
IBM and Boeing.
Gene
attended the
University of
Phoenix
completing the BSB - Information Technology program and
continually seeks out learning experiences geared
towards his latest venture in sales. Graphic Promotions
has been a member of MPI Sacramento Sierra Nevada
chapter and the California Society of Association
Executives for 17 years and has been servicing
associations and corporations in the area.
Living, working and playing in the
Sacramento
area since 1986 after growing up in the Bay-area, has
created a deep appreciation for the business, recreation
and lifestyle opportunities the area has to offer. An
avid golfer, snow/water-skier, and dual-sport motorcycle
rider are a few of the ways he spends his spare time.
Gene and his wife have two children, Kevin 21 and
Kimberly 19. They live on a working horse ranch in
Orangevale California where they are surrounded by a
variety of animals ranging from a 4 pound Chihuahua to
1000 pound horses.
“I am
very excited to serve on the PMANC Board and appreciate
the opportunity to work along side such a wonderful
group of dedicated individuals. I look forward to the
challenges ahead.”
