As the Events Manager I continued to maintain records of all events with the additional responsibility of coordinating dates and time with publicists and authors to schedule their tour dates with the store. I became the main point person for all in-store events making decisions on set up and processing for more complicated signings such as the John Grisham and Kevin Hart events. Each event is unique and each author has different needs in order to execute their event to the best of their ability. It was my job to keep track of those particularities and do all I could to ensure the smooth production of each event. The average author event attendance in the store was 80 though that could range wildly depending on the profile of the author. Most notably I coordinated and managed talks and signings for: Alton Brown - EVERYDAYCOOK: Talk and signing, Attendance, 300Anderson Cooper - THE RAINBOW COMES AND GOES: Signing, Attendance, 300Kareem Abdul-Jabbar - WRITINGS ON THE WALL: Talk and signing, Attendance, 300David Sedaris - THEFT BY FINDING: Talk and signing, Attendance, 500Kevin Hart - I CAN'T MAKE THIS UP: Photo op, Attendance, 700John Grisham - CAMINO ISLAND: Talk and Signing, Attendance, 200 capped

Advancing from part-time to full time, I accepted the office position to help keep records of events, update internal and online calendars, confirm events with authors and publicists while still working on the book floor to assist with set-up and take down of each event.

As an Instructor I represented the foundation to each student and teacher who came on the week-long program. I was responsible to execute the Close Up civic education curriculum using DC, NYC, Gettysburg, PA and Colonial Williamsburg, VA as the classroom for groups of 20-25 students from all 50 states and several US territories. Over the course of a regular program season an Instructor will come in contact with more than 500 students from very diverse backgrounds. Close Up curriculum consists of critical consideration of government structure, American history, and current legislative policy issues. The safety, engagement, and overall positive experience for every student on the Close Up Program is the responsibility of each Instructor individually and collectively as an Instructor team. As an Instructor I was required to be versed in US history, DC history, monuments and memorials, and maintain a solid knowledge of current events to embellish lessons and conversations with students. As a Returning Instructor, I was expected to offer guidance and set an example for incoming Instructors both an informally and formally.

Apart from the after school program, but still an aspect of my service, I coordinated the creation of refugee cooperative farm just outside the city.

As part of Food Lifeline's official website, I wrote bi-monthly electronic action alerts to 1,500 person listserv concerning legislative updates and timely messages to send to lawmakers. Along with the state Anti-Hunger Coalition I helped coordinate the major yearly hunger-relief lobby day of 150 participants by organizing the 70 meetings between constiuents and legislators that are essential to that day's mission. I created and executed advocacy campaigns for state legislation effecting Food Lifeline and its mission to keep all of western Washington well fed encouraging volunteers, community members and food bank members to join. I represented Food Lifeline in community at tabling events On behalf of Food Lifeline I testified at City of Seattle budget and policy hearings concerning issues that would have an impact on the basic needs of low-income persons.
