Volunteer Opportunity Details:
| Last updated on June 12, 2009 |
Under the general direction of the Fundraising Lead, the Event Coordinator is responsible for:
- Planning, developing and managing our Annual Fundraising event in Bellingham;
- Working with the Board, fundraising manager and marketing staff; and
- Developing and maintaining a strong events team.
This is a “virtual” team opportunity which you may perform from your home or other location; however we would like the candidate to be located in the Bellingham-area where most of the events will be held.
Community Empowerment Network's (CEN’s) operations are nearly entirely driven by the efforts of volunteers (the only exception is our Field Manager in Santarém, Brazil, who is paid under contract). We are staffed along the lines of the Open Source development community. We have several (currently eight) Working Groups, each with its own lead who manages a number of Project Leads. These Project Leads are responsible for building and managing teams of volunteers to execute specific projects. We’re a small organization and so lines of responsibility become a little blurred at time, but this provides a terrific opportunity to take on a variety of responsibilities and to expand your skills.
