My objective is to grow Afterwork's audience into a thriving community leading to collaboration and creative endeavours. In this role, I bridged communication between Afterwork and all participants.

I managed relationships with the attendees as well as all those interested and on the waiting list. As a point of contact, I offer ongoing support and guidance as needed. Following all events, I conducted assessments, surveys and interviews to understand the evolving needs and concerns of the community and I use that data to inform the organization's decision-making and strategic planning. For engagement, I keep the community informed about Afterwork's activities, projects, and upcoming events and I disseminate relevant information about community resources and community members. Relationship building is a key focus for Afterwork and its vendors and community members.

As a new venture, it is my responsibility to develop processes and templates for all communication and to ensure longevity for this event series. I establish guidelines and procedures for easy adoption. Following each event, I address any concerns and gathered feedback from attendees, and analyzed them to identify areas for improvement in the process.

I create a comprehensive budget plan based on Afterworks' goals and available resources. I monitor financial performance by tracking income, expenses and cash flow. I regularly review and update the budget plan to reflect changing circumstances, emerging opportunities, or new initiatives.

I am responsible for researching and securing venues and setting menus for each event. I liaise with vendors to ensure a seamless experience for our attendees and continue communication post-event. Additionally, I execute the monthly newsletter, user interviews and all email communication.
