This is a hands-on, execution-focused role for someone who is organized, communicative, and comfortable working directly with contractors, vendors, and association leadership. The program is already built—your job is to run it well, improve it, and keep it moving forward .

Who This Role Is For

  • A strong communicator who’s comfortable working with contractors and stakeholders
  • Someone who sticks , executes, and doesn’t jump from role to role
  • An organized self-starter who enjoys running programs—not reinventing them
  • A local professional who enjoys occasional travel and event hosting

  • Experience managing events or multi-part programs
