After spending a few years organizing a number of successful events, @Ahmyra Cova Souvraya has decided to step down as the Director of Events and Conferences. Thank you for all your hard work in this position! Therefore, I need to hire.
The requirements are guidelines, if you don't meet them all but think you can do a good job, please, chat with me, apply, etc. I'm happy to answer any questions.
Overview
The Director of Events and Conferences is an Executive level position in the Department of Events and Conferences at TarValon.Net with overall responsibility for planning our official events and ensuring that the planning of unofficial events in our Local Events forum follows TarValon.Net's rules. In this position you will work closely with the Amyrlin, Shatayan, Cordamora and Keeper, as well as the other Directors, particularly Marketing and Community Outreach.
Duties and Responsibilities
- Provide information and advice to the Amyrlin, Shatayan, Cordamora, and Keeper
- Supervise the local liaisons for each event to make sure they are planned and executed well
- Solicit event bids in a timely manner
- Make sure our events operate within budget and still provide a good value to our members
- Moderate all Events forums, including Local Events, and make sure our rules are followed
- Manage all other needs of the Department as they arise
Requirements
- Be a Tower Sworn in good standing, preferably for at least 1 year. We will also consider applicants who have previously been TS in good standing with at least 1 year of time at the STS rank.
- Be a self-starter.
- Be willing and able to spend ~15 hours a week handling Department issues. This is an estimate. Some weeks are less, some are more, depending on what's happening. This is also a critical requirement, as events planning often has strict deadlines and quick responses can mean the difference in cost and availability for venues.
- Regularly attend at least one official event yearly (past attendance at TarValon.Net events is helpful).
- Experience planning events (although these do not necessarily have to be TarValon.Net events).
- Be extremely organized and creative.
- Be able to employ tact and diplomacy, even with people you don't necessarily like or respect.
- Able to comfortably and professionally interact with people around the world.
- Able to comfortably and professionally represent our organization to outside groups and vendors, such as hotels.
If you are interested in applying for this position, please email amyrlin@tarvalon.net and keeper@tarvalon.net with the subject line "APPLICATION - DIRECTOR OF EVENTS AND CONFERENCES - YOUR NAME HERE" no later August 3, 2026. Please include how you fit the requirements listed above and any thoughts or ideas you have about the Department in general and for future events. You may include a resume if you think that would be helpful to us, but it is not required. Good luck!
