The first major event I helped to coordinate and execute was Preview Weekend where potential hires spend the weekend with staff for extensive interviewing and culture immersion. I was responsible for coordinating with several of the food vendors, making hotel and flight arrangements for candidates, organizing arrival and departure details, and assisting with the overall flow of the entire weekend. Additionally, I helped to plan and execute the first ever ‘Summer Lunch & Learn Series’ where local counselors would come speak to the staff.My administrative duties consisted of projects such as creating spreadsheets, managing the internship program email inbox, restructuring the internship program overview document that is sent to other churches, obtaining and tracking staff assessment scores, and assisting with the onboarding program by scheduling room arrangements and logistics and aiding with preparation for new hire orientation.
