We are currently looking for a motivated and energetic Events Officer to support the planning committee for a special networking and fundraising event, Stronger Together.  The volunteer selected will assist with both planning and implementation on the night of the event (April 15).

During the evening, speakers will share impactful stories from the field, guests will learn about our new 2026 program launching in Malawi, and discover how their support directly empowers women to become entrepreneurs, leaders, and change-makers in their communities. Attendees will also be inspired by a special presentation by 3-time Amazon bestselling author and leadership expert, Marisa Murray. 

The Events officer supports the planning committee in various ways, including: 

• liaising and coordinating with speakers, facilities management, caterer and other stakeholders

• donor/guest relations

• communications as needed

• related duties

Requirements:

The successful candidate should be 

• a motivated self-starter

• able to take direction

• be organized

• able to manage deadlines

• be available for 5-7 hours/week starting immediately until April 17. 

Work is remote; however, the volunteer attends and supports the event in person (April 15, 4:30-8:30); remote work includes a weekly meeting with the committee.
