Reno Film Festival 2006
Board of Directors and Advisory Board
Bio Page
Bob Alessandrelli is a respected
Reno marketing and management expert who runs his own
consulting firm, RLA Solutions (www.rlasolutions.com).
Bob served as the Reno Film Festival executive director
for the festival's first four years and, as such, greatly
assisted with the leadership, organization and scope
of the festival. His other contracts prevented him from
continuing as the executive director but he has maintained
his interest and dedication to the festival by serving
as a resource, volunteer and "institutional memory"
for our event.
Chuck
Alvey is president and chief executive
officer of the Economic Development Authority of Western
Nevada, a position he has held since September 1998 after
thirty-one years in television production and management.
An avid movie viewer, he coordinates a loosely-organized
Friday Night Movie Group at the Riverside 12 most weeks.
Attendance can range from 20 people to "himself",
from a distribution list of over 60. He averages about
two movies a week with a peak of 4 around pre-Academy
Awards time. He likes all types of film but mostly the
off-beat independents.
