As the Community Conference Chair I planned and organized a day-long conference for league members to kick off the new year of volunteering in the Greater Boston Area. I managed attendee registration, coordinated details and logistics with the venue, directed volunteer participation and created a detailed conference timeline to ensure the day ran smoothly. The conference featured multiple breakout sessions ranging from how to work and communicate with girls from diverse communities to how to plan a meaningful lesson for them. In between sessions we also featured several different keynote speakers who were influential women making a difference in our community. The conference was a huge success and we received a lot of great feedback about what went well and how to make it even better for next year.
