• Prepare, assemble, and distribute event materials, agendas, name badges, and participant packets in coordination with the communications and graphics staff.
• Maintain event calendars, invitation lists, RSVPs, and post-event evaluations and reporting.
• Ensure all events meet accessibility (ADA/Section 508), language-access, and federal meeting requirements.
• Track event budgets and vendor contracts, and reconcile expenses with the Project Manager.
• Provide on-site and virtual event support, troubleshooting issues in real time.

Required Qualifications

• Demonstrated experience coordinating professional events, trainings, or convenings, including virtual and hybrid formats.
• Familiarity with the TANF program and the government and grantee audiences served by this project.
• Awareness of the marriage and family-strengthening subject matter sufficient to prepare accurate, on-message materials.
• Strong organizational, vendor-management, and multitasking skills with exceptional attention to detail.
• Knowledge of federal travel, meeting, and accessibility requirements.
• Proficiency with registration, survey, and virtual-event platforms.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting federally funded conferences, TA convenings, or grantee events.
• Certified Meeting Professional (CMP) or equivalent credential.
