Claire Gilbert is a Executive Assistant to the Head of School at Alexander Dawson School at Alexander Dawson School. She possess expertise in event planning, event management, travel planning, philanthropy, project management and 20 more skills. Colleagues describe her as "If you are hosting a formal event for hundreds, a professional board meeting for a more intimate group, or any other type of business occasion, then you would be most fortunate to have Claire Gilbert on your planning team. Not only does Claire tackle the obvious tasks in event organizing, but she also thinks of those special things that will add a distinctive touch for your guests. Claire and I worked together at CTIR for roughly 18 months, and in that time she was indispensable to the organization. “Administrative Assistant” was simply a title and not representative of her skills. In fact, she was responsible for the support and execution of several annual events designed for K-12 teachers and students. The meetings and conferences occurred both locally in Colorado and in other states for national audiences. They ranged in size from a dozen or so to several hundreds of people. Claire truly has a knack for seeing the big picture, as well as anticipating the unforeseen and then planning accordingly. She recognizes those tiniest of details so that if the improbable happens, the event team is prepared to respond rapidly and professionally. But hard work and attention to details aren’t the only things that make Claire exceptional. She also is a joy to work with. Her spunk, fun ideas, and seemingly endless creativity help to nurture a sense of true teamwork and excitement for executing outstanding projects. Anyone – either external or internal clients – who had contact with Claire during her tenure at CTIR had nothing but positive regard for her and wonderful compliments to share with the leadership team. In short, Claire is an outstanding team-mate, collaborator, and employee, who makes valuable contributions."
