●      With Event Coordinator and Executive Director, plan events, including marketing, vendor, and partner management, and day-of troubleshooting. Events could range in size from five-person gardening classes to public concerts for over 100 guests.

●      With the Event Planner and Executive Director, plan and implement the Foundation’s participation in the annual Northwest Flower and Garden Show, and Wedding Shows, including the recruitment of volunteers to staff a booth in the years the Foundation has one.
