Speaker Meeting Manager

Save to Favorites

NAMI is the nation's largest volunteer-led grassroots organization helping individuals affected by mental illness. Through our free services and programs, we offer hope and help save lives. We are extremely excited to be growing and in need of a reliable and committed self-starter to coordinate the logistics of our monthly speaker meetings. Our speaker meetings are an extremely valuable, free service to the public. We introduce our services and provide valuable information with a different topic and special guest speaker each month. The right person will help us smoothly coordinate a ready environment for the public to get the most out of the meeting. As a detail-oriented, thoughtful planner, we rely on the Speaker Meeting Coordinator to ensure an efficiently run meeting where all the pieces and players are on deck to ensure its success.

You will...

• Ensure a librarian, set up/break down crew, and food setup volunteers are in place to help the day of the meeting
• Schedule volunteers to work one day a month at the meeting
• Maintain a database of speaker meeting volunteers to ensure coverage is solid at least 2 months in advance
• Ensure adequate forms, pencils, pens, clipboards, markers and other necessities are stocked and on-hand at each meeting

• Stay connected with the Speaker Coordinator to ensure audio/visual equipment is available and working for the guest speakers
