Highlights of what I do in this role:
- Event planning - I am responsible for event coordination for this group. This includes retirements, training seminars, or any group meeting. The event that required the most work to prepare was an annual two- day global Drivetrain conference held in Waterloo with 250+ attendees. This required me to communicate with coworkers in India, Germany, and Mexico among other places. Some responsibilities included coordinating the venue and menu details, travel for attendees, and communicating all event details to those invited and presenting. I have began planning the event again for this coming year.
- Group communications - I communicate information to our local group of 90+ engineers via email. Along with this, I facilitate and document monthly meetings with a 25 member global leadership group.
- Travel arrangements - I book flights, hotels, and rental cars for any travel arrangements through an online booking tool.
