  • Report regularly on budget, cost per event and results to marketing and business leaders.

Leadership and measurement

  • Manage, coach and develop one Events Coordinator, assigning work, setting priorities and reviewing performance.
  • Establish event measures, such as attendance, quality of attendees, producer participation and new business or relationship outcomes, and report results after each event.
  • Maintain processes, templates and event technology that make the firm’s events consistent and efficient.
  • Travel regularly to events, venues, offices and partner meetings, primarily in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York. Be available for evenings and weekends as event schedules require.
