Michele Tilley is a returning Rotary 14 Rotarian. Michele Tilley started her company, Chocolate Cake Communication Design, in 2005 after leading the graphics department at the Arbor Day Foundation for more than seven years. Owning a small business for 15 years taught her relationship building, coordination, and strategy for public relations and project management, and to really understand audiences and clients. Michele brings a strong background of art, design, journalism, and creative problem solving to whatever project she tackles, be it local and national marketing and fundraising campaigns, graphic design or campaign strategy for organizations, corporations, political candidates, and bond issues.
 
As the former communications manager for the Lied Center for Performing Arts, Michele nurtured relationships with local, regional and national media, including television, radio, print and online media, coordinating projects and programs with the city of Lincoln, University of Nebraska administrators, agents, world-class artists, organizations, companies, and nonprofits. She created public relations, earned media, email, and social media strategies and implemented them, growing the Lied’s online audience to more than 23,000 followers, expanding the media reach across the state, and selling out the biggest season in the Lied's history.
