Follow up with stakeholders, vendors, and partners

Event & Marketing Support
Assist with event coordination and logistics
Support marketing-related tasks where needed (e.g. Mailchimp, Canva)
### Ideal Candidate
Highly organized with strong attention to detail
A proactive self-starter who takes initiative without needing constant direction
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment
Strong communicator, both written and verbal
Confident, personable, and able to interact with clients when needed
Calm under pressure and able to prioritize effectively
