As project coordinator at Chicago Scenic, Alyce works on a wide variety of client jobs, lending her expertise in organization and scheduling to each project. But there are two recurring types of projects for which Alyce is known throughout the company and CSSI’s client base - she organizes and manages the wide array of parade floats that Chicago Scenic produces and she is the key contact for the annual Winter Wonder Fest (WWF) at Chicago’s Navy Pier.

Soon after joining Chicago Scenic in July, 2006, Alyce became primary project manager for all parade activities. Each year CSSI clients participate in at least a dozen parades. Parade management is especially challenging because it requires understanding and juggling many different project component such as complex audio systems, automotive engines, exhaust issues, visibility restrictions, and the logistics of transporting floats to and from parade locations without incident.

Since assuming responsibility for parade projects, Alyce has implemented a comprehensive education program for shop employees to ensure that parade preparation and follow-up is consistent and floats are always ready to go. It’s a business that requires creative problem solving and the ability to think fast.

The other major project that Alyce spearheads each year is Navy Pier’s Winter Wonder Fest, a multi-faceted and complex family entertainment destination that opens for one month each holiday season. Alyce’s responsibilities for WWF are extensive and include coordinating a wide group of tradespeople who install and maintain rides, decorations, and exhibits. WWF is a project Alyce works on periodically throughout the year.

“Working with customers on repeat jobs requires constant relationship building,” Alyce says. “That’s an important part of the projects I work on for Chicago Scenic.”

Prior to joining Chicago Scenic, Alyce worked as a production assistant for a small Chicago scene shop where she oversaw movie and commercial set fabrication, managed budgets, estimating, and organized and coordinated subcontractors. Alyce earned her B.S. degree in general liberal arts from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale.
