CFE is a smart, professional organization with a strong track record and we are currently in an exciting period of expansion.
We are seeking a dynamic self-starter to fill a seasonal position as Events Manager. This is a [CB1] full-time position, in our downtown New Haven office, reporting to the Director of Individual Giving until a Director of Development is hired, at which time reporting will shift to the new Director of Development.
Successful events are central to building membership numbers, support, and engagement. The Events Manager will work closely with the development, program and communications staff as well as volunteers and members of the CFE Board of Directors to plan, execute and follow up on a broad variety of fundraising/friendraising events. The position is based in the CFE office at 900 Chapel Street, New Haven.
Responsibilities
The organization will provide administrative support, events management software, a database of members and activists, graphic design, printing and mailing, social media, press and electronic communications support. CFE staff will also manage host relationships where appropriate.
Please provide a detailed description of your timeline, strategy, and milestones[CB5] to Valerie at vwormely-radford@ctenvironment.org by Sunday, May 7, 2016. Tell us about other events you’ve hosted and your performance to event goals. Please also identify what additional resources you require to execute a successful Run of Show for each event.
The successful candidate should have experience staging events of all sizes for nonprofit organizations; be detail-oriented, creative, and a skilled communicator; and possess a well-practiced understanding of etiquette. Please contact Heidi Green (hgreen@ctenvironment.org) if you have questions.
Background
Founded in 1978, Connecticut Fund for the Environment merged in 2004 with Save the Sound, a respected voice for the protection of Long Island Sound’s shoreline, marine habitat and water quality since 1972. Linking CFE’s legal, scientific and policy expertise with Save the Sound’s proven stewardship, restoration, and community outreach capability has created one of the region’s leading environmental organizations. Our mission is to protect and improve the land, air and water of Connecticut and Long Island Sound. Our staff of 26 works with thousands of partners and stakeholders, including elected officials and community leaders, individual citizen activists (13,000), volunteers (2,500), and members (5,300). Save the Sound operates as a distinct program within CFE.
CFE is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on any basis when considering applicants. Compensation is commensurate with education and experience.
