Asia Ciaravino

Join us at the Old San Francisco Steakhouse for our first Spotlight of the 2019 Transformational Leadership Development Series featuring Asia Ciaravino, CEO of SA Youth.

Asia has been a force in the nonprofit sector for more than 19 years, working with underprivileged youth and arts organizations across the country, beginning her career as the Marketing Director at Inner-City Games on the East Side of San Antonio.

She and her husband then moved to Minneapolis where she worked at Dollars for Scholars and was involved in the city’s thriving professional theatre community as a commercial actress.

Asia then returned to San Antonio as the Marketing and Development Director, and as an actor, for Magik Children’s Theatre. After Magik, Asia started work at the CE Group where she honed her management and production skills. After leaving CE Group, Asia was the Director of Alumni and Advancement Relations at Our Lady of the Lake University where she managed all alumni programs, events, and donor relations for the university.

While at OLLU, Asia co-founded The Classic Theater of San Antonio, spearheading the quest to bring classic theatre at a professional level to one of the largest cities in the country, a city which has historically been starved for professional arts opportunities. Asia continued to effect much-needed change, transforming The Playhouse San Antonio from its previously stagnant state into a thriving mecca of high-quality entertainment for its patrons and invaluable opportunities to local students and artists from Texas, California, Colorado, and New York.

During her time, she built a solid foundation of operational support that doubled the operational budget in 4 years and created cooperative partnerships with organizations such as Haven for Hope, The Y, Eva’s Heroes, SAISD, and Theatre for Change. Her stewardship of this network strengthened and expanded The Playhouse’s programming. In conjunction with the organization’s outreach, Asia more than tripled the size of The Playhouse’s educational scope, creating opportunities for every age and demographic in San Antonio.

Her affiliations are many and represent the true nature of her work: building community through strong leadership. A member of Leadership San Antonio (Class 36), Asia went on to serve on the LSA steering committee for Class 37. She has continued her community involvement through organizations such Autism Children’s Network, United Way Emerging Leaders, and Greater San Antonio Y’s Mission Advancement Committee. Her experience and expertise in marketing, fundraising, event planning, management, and public relations has become a source of inspiration and encouragement to the vast number of individuals she has invested in through mentoring.

Recently, Asia was honored for her work as a leader and mentor with the Chamber of Commerce Women in Business Leadership Promise Award, the San Antonio Business Journal’s Women Leadership Award and the Executive Leadership Award for her work as COO at SA300.

Join us in this intimate setting to hear more about her story!
