************* The Short Self-Pitch (SSP) *********************
Hello Sonja!
If there is space available for a SSP in your next mailing, I am seeking my next opportunity in the Chicago area.
My work experience has been primarily with associations managing professional development programs and all the meetings that are involved ranging from small committee meetings, Board of Directors meetings, special events, professional development seminars, annual conferences and exhibitions. Most reccently I researched and developed consumer expos, plus supervised trade shows which varied in size from 350 booths with an average of 9,000 buyers to 1,500 booths for over 53,000 buyers.
This background consists of numerous capabilities such as marketing and promotions, communications, meeting planning, finance, staff and vendor supervision, plus liaison with other organizations at the state, regional, national and international levels.
Thank you! Let me know how I might help you.
