Producing Star Events: Take the lead on organizing specific, high-impact organizational events—from start to sensational finish (think scheduling, planning, marketing, and making sure everything's safe and permitted).
The Fall Gala Mastermind: Plan and execute the highly anticipated Annual Fall Gala for both Visit Cook County and the Chamber.
Community Connector: Act as a go-to resource and liaison for local event producers, community members, and tourism associations, helping everyone stay informed and connected.
