Event Management • Experience Strategies • Online & Offline ContentConnect at: rubyseidl1@gmail.comAfter a ten-year career as a marketing communications manager, events and promotions manager, and communications consultant, I left the workforce to start a family. Since then, I have raised three children, and have leveraged my marketing and communications knowledge and expertise to provide volunteer leadership to community and nonprofit organizations, tried my hand at a couple of entrepreneurial ventures, and enrolled in continuing studies courses to further my knowledge and learning.Now that my children are grown, my goal is to secure a contract or part-time role where I can drive forward the planning and execution of event-related marketing activities to enable business success and growth. My strength lies in my ability to manage a variety of tasks simultaneously—ensuring flawless on-time execution in alignment with strategic goals. Equally notable are my strengths in stakeholder communications, vendor management, and budget management.Highlights of my accomplishments include:• Identified and secured meeting space for 20+ annual meetings for a nonprofit organization—YMSL, coordinating requirements, and managing terms and contracts.• Led the identification, negotiation, and securing of external speakers for YMSL events, managing communications, scheduling, AV requirements, and payments—overseeing a $1.5k budget.• Partnered in the ideation, development, and launch of The Bravo Baby Company—an Ecommerce venture providing hand-crafted baby blankets, leading production, fulfillment, and marketing—including Google AdWords placement and website development; secured full-color press in major publications.• Played a critical role in activating 100+ volunteers for the premier fundraising event for Ronald McDonald House, ensuring coverage and support for the fine-dining event, live and silent auctions, dancing, and a casino-style gaming event.
