Event Coordinator
CurrentI currently work as an Event Coordinator at the Douglas County Fairgrounds. More specifically, I coordinate the annual Douglas County Fair & Rodeo in collaboration with a board of directors appointed by the Board of County Commissioners. As a County employee, it is my responsibility to guide board members to ensure County policies and procedures are followed and all actions remain in compliance with financial, legal and safety obligations. Some main duties of my role include preparing correspondence and reports, creating agendas, arranging for meetings, taking minutes and evaluating the operating budget and preparing financial reports. I also work to secure contractors, vendors and sponsors through coordinating requirements, preparing contracts, booking travel arrangements and managing invoices and payments. In addition to the administrative aspects of my role, I also contribute to the development and implementation of marketing and advertising plans; including print ad content, proofs, placement and press releases.
