guest speaker for October 2021 meeting
RUI FARIAS
Rui Farias is the perfect person for the job of Executive Director for the St. Petersburg Museum of History. He's lived in St. Pete for a large part of his life, and is deeply integrated with the community here. He holds a BA in Journalism from USF and was a writer for the St. Petersburg Times before his 15-year career in PR and Marketing, where he worked with events for the Tampa Bay Rowdies and the 1994 FIFA World Cup. He also worked within public facility management, but quickly returned to his love of history and all things St. Petersburg--by creating and teaching Pinellas County’s first Florida History class for St. Petersburg High School. If you want stories about St. Pete's history, Rui serves them up with a smile!
