Meet NTI’s Master of Ceremonies: DawnMarie Kotsonis

For the second consecutive year, DawnMarie Kotsonis brings her dynamic style to NTI as master of ceremonies. Equal parts entertainer, fundraiser, and professional auctioneer for healthcare-related charity events, Kotsonis will add warmth and energy to each general session at this year’s NTI.

Kotsonis has a tremendous appreciation for the contributions nurses make in the lives of patients and their families. Most recently, she joined Presbyterian Intercommunity Hospital Foundation as director of development, helping to raise a record $20 million in support of the medical center’s community programs and new construction plans. Also a professional clown, Kotsonis, a.k.a. “Dr. Bubbles,” can be found in full clown regalia visiting patients in hospitals and community clinics.
