Thanks to experience gained during two previous jobs, I was hired as lead planner/race director for a first-time fundraising event. Though there were unique obstacles along theway, I enjoyed every challenge and felt an incredible sense of accomplishment when the event proved to be a great success. In my role as race director, I:• Established a fun, organized event that was marketable to large demographic• Designed the layout of the event, from the course and obstacles to the festival area• Held meetings with staff and volunteer committees to acquire help for certain aspects of the event, such as obstacle construction and race-day operations• Created and maintained social media accounts as a way to reach out to and keep frequent communication with participants and interested individuals• Utilized past relationships and created new relationships with prominent area businesses to secure funding• Contacted multiple vendors for each item/service needed and negotiated prices to ensure the lowest possible cost• Managed and directed volunteers during event set-up and day-of operations

During a contracted position, I accomplished the following:-Designed customized local marketing campaigns within a set budget for a nation-wide event.-Worked in a team environment to set up events for 20,000+ people.-Interacted with 300+ customers/participants each week in-person and over the phone to ensure excellent customer service and satisfaction.-Contributed ideas during brainstorming sessions that became a reality for several new company events, including Firefly Music Festival (July 2012).-Created a new event idea that took second place out of thirty employee submissions, which Red Frog will consider making an actual company event.

Hired as a site supervisor for the new after-school program, I was quickly promoted to ScoutReach Coordinator to help grow the program and develop a staff. During my time with the Boy Scouts of America's W.D. Boyce Council, I was given the responsibility of:-Establishing and cultivating strong professional relationships with community members, organizations, and Council volunteers to promote Scouting.-Interviewing, hiring, training and managing ten site supervisors, to ensure consistency and success of the ScoutReach program, in line with the values of Scouting.-Working directly with the Finance Development Director to secure program funding, which gave me a great understanding of fundraising.-Incorporating valuable lessons gained from the professional conferences I attended alongside our Council C.E.O.
