GOLD JACKET ANTHONY MUÑOZ TO SERVE AS MASTER OF CEREMONIES
CANTON, OHIO – “Masterpiece,” a film produced by Authenica, will premiere at the Pro Football Hall of Fame on the evening of Thursday, August 17, 2017. The following morning, “Mission Excellence,” a corporate leadership forum featuring a distinguished array of nationally-known presenters, will also take place at the Hall. An anticipated audience of 250 business owners, company executives and thought leaders will attend the events.
The Masterpiece Film Premiere will feature Hall of Famer ANTHONY MUÑOZas Master of Ceremonies. Musical performances from Goldford, Tiffany Baumann Cantelupe, Humble G and the Ritenauer Brothers and former NBA star Swen Nater will accent the film’s visual content.
“Through the ‘hard to replicate’ events Authenica has hosted to date, great content has been captured on film that represents the very best our Mission Excellence presenters have to offer – their glory, their story and everything else in between. Be prepared for a ‘five course feast for the senses’ as the Masterpiece event will seek to engage individuals in a manner unlike any other experience of its kind,” states Craig Lucas, Founder of Authenica.
“This film debut and the ongoing ‘Mission Excellence’ series is rooted in the values learned from the Game that can transfer to all areas of life. Values like commitment, integrity, courage, respect and excellence not only make someone a Hall of Famer, they can also make someone a great business leader,” commented David Baker, President & CEO of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Presenters at the ‘Mission Excellence’ forum will be participating in a press conference-like setting where prepared content, combined with questions posed by the Excellence Moderator Panel and event attendees, will result in an engaging, interactive experience.
Leading the cadre of speakers will be Chris Fussell, retired Navy SEAL & Partner at the McChrystal Group Leadership Institute. Fussell recently released his book, “One Mission: How Leaders Build a Team of Teams” that provides the framework for the half-day conference.

The Moderator Panel will be led by Anne Graffice, Vice President of Development & Strategic Adventures for the Pro Football Hall of Fame; Brent Larkin, Cleveland Press Club Hall of Famer; and Robert Perry, Vice President, Business Development for the Welty Building Company.
“We continue the quest of introducing thought-provoking content intended to educate & inspire those attending,” Lucas added. “Hosting an event of this magnitude at the Pro Football Hall of Fame, a venue known for excellence, will make for a very special occasion. Our cast of presenters will cover a wide array of timely themes, sharing their best stories and most important lessons.”
