The Team
Rita Curtis - Director
Rita Curtis has over 12 years experience in booking authors, working most closely with Neale Donald Walsch since his first Conversations with God book was published in 1995. During that time Rita served as the Executive Director of both the Conversations with God Foundation and Humanity’s Team, worldwide outreach nonprofit organizations, to direct staff, produce marketing materials and educational programs, and manage fundraising. Rita currently serves as Executive Director of The Group of 1000, a funding resource for the CWG organizations. She has been the executive producer of many large-scale events for author speakers, including Empowerment 2000 in Santa Monica, California, and The Gathering in Portland, Oregon, both events attracting over 1000 people for a full weekend.
Her previous incarnation was as one of the first professional services marketing directors in Portland, Oregon. Working as a legal assistant for fourteen years in a law firm specializing in bankruptcy and creditors’ rights, Rita was promoted in 1988 to the position of the firm’s first Marketing Director, one of only four marketing professionals of law firms in the entire city. She left that job in 1991, and went to work for a securities company to develop their investor relations department, syndicating tax credit investments and managing marketing and public affairs.
A dark night of the soul brought Rita to the Conversations with God books. Through her work with Neale, she developed many friendships and professional contacts with writers and producers all over the world. Realizing that there were many opportunities to be extended to other authors whose work she believed should be facilitated and sourced, Rita decided to start her own speaker placement business in 1997. Early clients include Thom Hartmann (of Air America Radio fame); Doreen Virtue (The Lightworkers Way); Nick Bunick (The Messengers); and Paul Ferrini (Love Without Conditions).
Stellar Bookings is the culmination of a life-long yearning to be a creative and decisive force in sharing the message of a loving God with the world. Through the work of the many authors and speakers with whom Rita has established relationships, she has been able to be a part of the movement for a new spirituality to emerge upon the planet, assisting spiritual messengers in surmounting the challenges inherent in sharing their particular message with the world.
Rita divides her time between Portland and Bend, Oregon, and lives with her husband, Brent Curtis. She is the mother of two grown daughters and a son in graduate school, the grandmother of five, and enjoys reading, writing, cooking, decorating, and golfing.
