  • Monitor open action items and proactively follow up with appropriate contacts to ensure deadlines and deliverables stay on track.
  • Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders while maintaining a professional, responsive approach to member and volunteer support.

Qualifications

  • At least 2 years of experience in administrative coordination, project support, member/customer service, meeting coordination, or a related area.
  • Experience in an association, nonprofit, healthcare, membership-based, or similar environment is preferred.
  • Background supporting events, meetings, committees, chapters, boards, volunteer groups, or member communities is a plus.
  • Demonstrated ability to coordinate multiple assignments, deadlines, and priorities simultaneously.
  • Bachelor's degree preferred but not required.
  • Strong proficiency with Microsoft 365, including Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and shared document platforms.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Strong organizational abilities and careful attention to detail.
  • Reliable follow-through and the ability to independently determine appropriate next steps.
  • Strong customer/member-service mindset and confidence communicating with professionals and senior-level volunteer leaders.
  • Ability to learn new software and navigate multiple systems efficiently.
  • Sound judgment, including the ability to recognize situations that require escalation.
