Events Management

Virtual Events

Working in partnership with government agencies like the Small Business Administration, I produced and coordinated 100s of virtual events and presentations in my time at Main Street Alliance with thousands of views and attendees.

Co-op Festival

Bringing education and fun together, this event was free and open to the public on the National Mall in Washington, DC. Over 20,000 attendees came through nearly 40 exhibitors and partners, learning about the breadth and impact of the Co-op Business Model.

I coordinated Partnerships, Exhibitors and Sponsorships in 2018, doubling partners in the second year of the event. I also coordinated the Volunteer Program, and managed the digital marketing and social media.

Cooperative Impact COnference

This seminal research conference also began in 2017, and grew to 320 attendees in 2018. I managed sponsorships and partnerships, as well as the digital marketing and social media around the event.

In-house events

Whether webinars, summits, report dissemination panels or receptions, I currently manage any digital needs, branding and support for all in-house events at NCBA CLUSA headquarters.

Camp GLOW

During my Peace Corps Service in Ethiopia (2012-2014) I coordinated the Girls Leading Our World Camp, a gender empowerment program. Bringing 50 young women from surrounding communities to a regional hub town for a week in the northwest of the country, Camp GLOW went through leadership and academic curriculums, as well as fun activities around the town to focus on community engagement and peer networking.

I coordinated all logistics, including partnering with the University of Gondar for dorms, catering, classrooms, field trips and even potable water delivery.
