Our in-person event needs a coordinator! We are planning our annual Evening of Hope and Discovery event, scheduled for October 21, 2022 in Burlington, MA, and we are looking for an event committee chair/coordinator. We held our event virtually last year and it was a success. We are contemplating a way to make our event hybrid or have a separate smaller virtual event to continue to engage our nationwide audience. This will be decided as a committee. We are looking for someone who can build on that success and bring fresh ideas for this year.
This volunteer will have the support of a committee and Families for Depression Awareness staff members. This opportunity is great for someone who desires more experience in event planning and coordination. Committee meetings will be held virtually, but this volunteer needs to be in MA and available in person for the day of event.
Please reply with information about your experience and why you are interested in this opportunity. You will be contacted for an interview.
