Event Coordinator

Event coordinators are creative, highly organized and able to create and execute unforgettable events which generate awareness, build support, increase donor base, and boost volunteer morale. This involves conceptualizing ideas for the events, creating and enforcing budgets, liaising with suppliers, communicating with vendors and all parties involved, and ultimately ensuring that each event is flawlessly executed.

As the Event Coordinator, you should be an expert multitasker with impeccable attention to detail. You also need to have an extraordinary ability to foresee risks and anticipate needs, so that attendees are impressed and entirely satisfied by the time each event comes to a close.
