As CEO of Signature Productions, LLC, I have worked in the Pageant arena for almost thirty years. I started my career as the Arizona State Director for the USA/Universe Pageant system and then invited to the United States Pageant system, where, after four years as State Director, was promoted to National Director of the Jr. Teen, Teen, Miss & Ms. Divisions. I spent the next six years promoting, producing, and directing what soon became one of the most exciting National pageants in the industry. Year after year my delegates, directors, staff, judges, volunteers, sponsors, and colleagues grew to expect the grace, quality and professionalism of my national events ~ and year after year, I never let them down. If there is one thing I that can say for certain that I have learned through my experiences, it would be to journey outside my comfort zone. When doing so, I found out how much more there is to discover once having given myself the power to accept possibilities and explore beyond that which feels safe and customary. It was THAT permission to being open to accepting possibilities that fueled my motivation to change the landscape of pageantry to conform to challenges, decisions, and changing values and attitudes. Together with my fabulous team of colleagues, we offer more than one hundred years of experience doing what we all do best, and this time it’s for those women who are ready accept experiences and embrace possibilities!

Linda has been in the pageant circle for many years. Her love of pageantry, coupled with her organizational skills and professional demeanor, played an important part in being selected as Assistant to the Executive Director. As a long time "pageant mom", Linda understands and relates very well to the needs and concerns of delegates, while respecting the demanding schedules behind the scenes to get each delegate to the right place, at the right time, and in the right outfit for the competition. Both Lynda and Linda look forward to working together towards an exceptional Classic Universe Pageant.
