- Serve as the primary point of contact for members, prospective members, committees, program participants, vendors, and business partners.
- Plan and produce the Society’s flagship events: a 5-day annual conference each fall - held in person in the U.S. every other year - and a 4-day online spring workshop.
- Carry out bookkeeping and day-to-day financial management.
- Support governance and coordination by attending monthly Executive Committee meetings, a weekly meeting with the President, and committee meetings as needed.
Qualifications
- Demonstrated association management experience and a solid understanding of nonprofit organizational management, operations, and governance.
- Strong strategic, communication, and technical skills, with excellent attention to detail.
- Experience working with volunteers.
- A proven ability to juggle multiple priorities and deadlines independently.
