Title: Events Coordinator
Organization: The Communications Network
Employment Status: Full-time Exempt Employee
Location: Remote with occasional travel required
Reports To: VP, Events and Community

Description:

We’re looking for a highly-organized, resourceful, curious, passionate “events person” to join our team and support the nitty gritty planning and execution of events of all shapes and sizes — from multi-day conferences to summits, salons, board meetings, team retreats, virtual gatherings and more. Someone whose happy place is tracking the process and sweating each and every detail as events come together from idea to reality. Who believes networks matter and that bringing people together is a science and an art that takes a lot of pre-planning and organization! As part of the mighty Communications Network HQ team you’ll be helping some of the world’s most influential foundations and nonprofits improve their communications work and increase their impact as you support and enhance The Network’s community-building work.

Put simply, you’re a good fit for this job if you’re a doer, a resourceful and creative problem-solver, a stickler for organization (your lists have lists), and you truly love living in the crucial details that bring events to life online and IRL. If you’re the kind of person who lives for checklists, can juggle multiple moving parts with grace, and gets satisfaction from making sure no detail slips through the cracks, this role is for you.

About The Communications Network:

Founded over 45 years ago, The Communications Network connects, gathers, and informs leaders from the most influential foundations, nonprofits, and social sector consultancies across the globe.

We are a vibrant, diverse, and dedicated community of 3,000 communicators, storytellers, strategists, designers, researchers, producers, and community-builders.

Driven by our core values of community, learning, and leadership, The Network brings together social sector leaders to solve complex problems, while providing them with insights, ideas, innovations, and techniques to help them grow, thrive, and shape the future.

Our small but mighty team works remotely from across the U.S. Our culture is awesome: warm, fun, curious, friendly, and casual. Our work style is creative, flexible, and outcome-oriented. We stay on track through video check-in meetings, Slack, and occasional IRL team meetings/retreats. We’re an innovative, learning-oriented organization that values candid feedback, open conversations, having fun, and bringing a quality GIF game. We’re a busy bunch and we need the help of a smart, enthusiastic, organized go-getter.

Position Summary:

This full-time position is an integral member of The Communications Network’s remote/DC-based team and reports to the VP of Events and Community.

What You Will Do:

This role is all about making sure events, gatherings, and meetings run smoothly — before, during, and after. Your work will support leadership’s vision and you’ll be trusted with a variety of administrative and logistical responsibilities, including:

Event Admin Support: Managing spreadsheets (guest lists, budgets, runs-of-show), tracking expenses, and keeping records organized. Scheduling and confirming internal and external meetings.
Vendor Coordination: Research, vet, and manage communications with venues, caterers, A/V teams, transportation providers, and other vendors. Request proposals, compare options, and track contracts and deliverables.
Speaker & Participant Communications: Draft outreach pitches, event invitations, confirmation emails, prep materials, and logistical details. Maintain clean and accurate contact lists. Research contacts, send, follow up, and track correspondence.
Event Logistics & Planning: Update runs-of-show, draft timelines and travel itineraries, handle registration and RSVPs, coordinate shipments, and manage supplies.
Payment Processing & Budget Tracking: Submit invoices, track payments, and help manage event-related invoices. Submit expense reports. Process payments and reimbursements accurately and on time.
Event Planning Research: Support site selection, travel logistics, and speaker or venue research — you’ll be asked to do a lot of googling and researching of options.
Meeting Coordination and Prep: Schedule and coordinate calls and meetings (both internal and external), create agendas, take notes, send reminders, send follow up, and keep everyone aligned and on track.
Event Follow-Up: Supporting post-event wrap-up tasks like surveys and photo sorting.
Inbox + Prioritization Support: You’ll monitor and manage incoming emails, flag what’s urgent, handle what you can, and keep things moving.
General Problem-Solving & Admin Support: When something pops up unexpectedly (because it always does), you fix it. You fill gaps and take pride in keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes.
Other duties as assigned.

Qualifications and Experience:

Mindsets Needed

The job is not just about what you will do, but also how you will approach the work.

These are the mindsets we expect you to show up with daily:

Logistics Lover + Systems Thinker
You thrive on organizing chaos. You think in steps, timelines, and workflows — and you can spot potential roadblocks before they happen.
Calm Under Pressure
You stay composed, cool-headed, and effective even when timelines are tight, plans shift, or pressure is high. You don’t create more stress — you solve it.
“No Job Too Big, No Task Too Small” Attitude
You’re willing to do whatever it takes — stuffing gift bags, hauling boxes, fixing signage, updating the spreadsheet again — all in the name of a smooth, successful event.
Anticipatory Thinking
You don’t wait to be told what’s next. You’re always a step ahead, asking “What might we be forgetting?” and planning for it.
Clear + Empathetic Communicator
You communicate with clarity, kindness, and professionalism — with teammates, vendors, speakers, and guests alike.
Flexible and Adaptable
You can change directions quickly without resistance or frustration — taking updates or feedback with limited back-and-forth. Plans shift — you pivot, stay positive, and get it done. You make things happen — smoothly, efficiently, and without drama.
Detail-Obsessed
You notice what others don’t — the crooked tablecloth, the typo in the slide deck, the missing vegan entrée — because details create the experience.
Team-Oriented + Service-Driven
You take pride in supporting others and you go the extra mile to make work easier for your teammates. You enjoy working collaboratively and you’re happy to pitch in, support others, and help the whole team succeed. You think “we” is more than “me.”
Sense of Urgency + Fast Execution
You work with pace and purpose. You meet tight timelines, make quick decisions, and respond promptly when the pressure is on.
Resourceful Problem-Solver
You don’t just flag problems — you fix them. You’re creative, practical, and relentless in finding solutions with whatever resources are available.

Who You Are & Keys to Success (the must-haves)

Must have 2-5 years of event planning experience.
Ability to work 40 hours a week (roughly 9:30-5:30pm Eastern Time) with occasional travel required as well as flexibility for on site, in-person event management (which may include occasional nights and weekends).
You must be able to stand, walk, and be physically active for extended periods of time during event days.
A calm, proactive approach when juggling multiple projects at once.
Clear verbal and written communications skills — you’ll need to be able to quickly write clear, persuasive, messages to speakers, vendors, and partners.
A deep love of logistics, checklists, and timelines. You will need to be highly organized, proactive, and detail-oriented, as well as have strong critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills.
An energetic, curious, positive, flexible, fun, and collaborative disposition. This is the most important qualification!

Other information:

The Network offers terrific benefits, a tremendous opportunity to learn and grow, and a competitive total compensation package.

What’s the culture like?

Of course we’re going to say it’s innovative and awesome. Here’s why we aren’t kidding: You’ll wake up every day and help amazing people who are working to eradicate disease, lift up the arts, improve education, halt climate change, and advance social justice do their work better.

Total Compensation:

A salary range of $45,000 to $50,000 depending on experience plus benefits including 401k with 5% salary match, health, dental, disability and life insurance, 15 days paid time off + Summer Fridays + we close the office the week between Christmas and New Years, as well support for professional development.

How to apply:

To apply, email Carrie Clyne at cclyne@comnetwork.org and include “Events Coordinator” in the subject line. Submissions will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled.

Please include your resume and a blurb about a recent event you planned.

Also, let us know what music/book/podcast/binge-watch recommendations you have — we’re always on the hunt for new stuff.

Engagement with leaders: We prioritize learning from city, state, and nonproﬁt leaders in their communities, and we inform their work with evidence.

Vice President, Strategic Communications and Narrative

The California Endowment

Sacramento or Oakland, CA

The California Endowment

Date Posted: 5/22/2025

Apply Now

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The California Endowment (The Endowment) is a private, statewide health foundation established in 1996 whose mission is to expand access to affordable, quality health care for underserved individuals and communities and to promote fundamental improvements in the health status of all Californians. We envision a California that leads the nation as a powerful and conscientious voice for wellness, inclusion, and shared prosperity.

Headquartered in downtown Los Angeles, the Endowment has regional offices in Sacramento, Oakland, Fresno and San Diego, with staff working throughout the state. We challenge the conventional wisdom that medical settings and individual choices are solely responsible for people’s health. We believe that health happens in neighborhoods, schools, and with prevention.

We are seeking a visionary and collaborative Vice President of Strategic Communications and Narrative (VP of Strategic Communications and Narrative) to play a leadership role in developing, implementing, and managing comprehensive communications and narrative strategies that amplify community-driven solutions, shift beliefs and power, and drive systems change to advance racial and health equity and health access for marginalized populations across California.

The ideal candidate will be a creative and accomplished leader with experience in change management and a successful track record leading teams and organizations to develop and advance effective and impactful communications and narrative strategies. The VP of Strategic Communications and Narrative should be a passionate advocate for the vision of the Endowment, a committed and engaged team leader, a collaborative thought partner, and an exceptional spokesperson and ambassador. The new VP will lead a team that will provide the full range of communications and narrative functions within the organization and will work in close partnership with leadership and programming staff.

Reporting to the Chief Strategy Officer, the VP of Strategic Communications and Narrative will be based in one of The Endowment’s offices – ideally in Oakland or Sacramento – with occasional opportunities to work remotely. The role will require moderate domestic travel and in-person meetings.

ABOUT THE CALIFORNIA ENDOWMENT

Building on more than three decades of work to expand access to affordable, quality health care for all Californians, The California Endowment is committed to creating a state that leads the nation in wellness, inclusion, and shared prosperity. Since our founding in 1996, we have pursued our mission to increase access to health care for underserved individuals and communities while advancing lasting improvements in the overall health of all Californians. To date, we have awarded more than 22,000 grants totaling over $2.9 billion to organizations serving diverse rural, urban, inland and coastal communities throughout the state.

OUR CORE VALUES

We believe every Californian deserves health, wellness, and justice.
We believe those who are most impacted by health inequities are best positioned to lead in the solutions.
We are committed to diversity, inclusion, mutual respect and transparency.
We value youth leadership and champion marginalized voices.
We recognize the impact of trauma on both individual and community health outcomes.
We value learning through action.
We embrace strategies aimed at building power in communities of color and marginalized communities.

This is an exciting and pivotal moment for The Endowment. Brenda Solórzano assumed the role of President and CEO with a bold vision to embed the principles of trust-based philanthropy into everything we do, at a time when the people, organizations, and communities we serve are contending with significant challenges brought by shifting federal policies, economic uncertainty, persistent racial and health inequities, political and civic polarization, and natural disasters. To achieve our vision, we must navigate change deftly and with care, respond nimbly and strategically to effectively tackle emerging challenges, leverage our influence to advance key narratives and drive positive change, and always maintain laser focus on a shared vision for the future.

OUR APPROACH AND IMPACT

The Endowment’s 10-year, $2 billion strategic plan to advance a vision of a more equitable California began in 2021 and was built on the foundational belief that where we live, our race, and our income play a major part in determining our health status and life expectancy. The legacy of racial and economic segregation, anti-immigrant policies, and other historical factors are an undeniable reality that low-income communities and communities of color across California face. These realities can and should be changed, and The Endowment works closely with our grantee partners in pursuit of this change.

More information about The California Endowment may be found at: www.calendow.org.

OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES

The VP of Strategic Communications and Narrative will lead our efforts to shape the narrative around health and racial equity in California. They will lead The Endowment’s efforts to drive systems change by leveraging communications and narrative strategies to amplify community-driven solutions that shift beliefs and power. They will cultivate a consistent brand that is recognized and respected, build our influence and relationships with policymakers and community leaders, and advance narratives that serve our strategic goals while pushing back on those that undermine them. They will build collaborative relationships, and they will actively cultivate opportunities to increase the visibility, influence, and impact of The Endowment, our strategic initiatives, our grantee partners, and the issues about which we all care deeply.

Internally, the VP of Strategic Communications and Narrative will drive operational excellence by ensuring clear, consistent, high quality, enterprise-wide communications; advancing a culture of transparency and collaboration; implementing effective administrative and operational processes to support effective communications; designing, implementing, and ensuring consistent alignment with The Endowment’s brand and voice; and fostering the teamwork and collaboration required to manage intersecting work occurring at local, regional, and statewide levels.

Specifically, the VP of Strategic Communications and Narrative can expect to engage with the following opportunities:

Institutional Communications

Lead the relaunch of The Endowment’s brand, brand voice, and brand narrative in alignment with our mission to advance health equity and health access for marginalized populations across California. Ensure organizational-wide alignment with The Endowment’s brand standards and narrative strategy in all communications, cultivating a shared understanding and consistent expression of our values and voice.
Proactively position The Endowment as a trusted, equity-driven, and forward-thinking leader in the health philanthropy space by advancing strategies that build credibility, influence, and engagement with internal and external stakeholders. Lead a high-impact communications team with clear ownership over key areas such as narrative development, content strategy, grantmaking communications, digital engagement, media relations, and internal communications.
Provide strategic partnership and support to The Endowment’s senior staff (Chief Executive Officer, Chief Strategy Officer, Chief Operations and Finance Officer, and Chief Investments Officer) to increase the organization’s visibility and thought leadership, particularly related to health equity, power building, and trust-based philanthropy.
Develop and manage an organization-wide internal communications function that drives “all staff” communications, including newsletters, announcements, meetings, and events.
Lead the development and oversee timely implementation of a crisis communications strategy and plan that includes standard protocols for rapid response and interventions during critical external flashpoints. Proactively monitor and identify issues that may require a crisis response.

External Communications

Lead the development, implementation, and coordination of The Endowment’s external communications strategies and campaigns to advance the priorities and goals of The Endowment and of our grantee partners. The plan should be informed by internal stakeholders across the enterprise, grantee partners, and other key stakeholders germane to California power-building and narrative efforts around health equity.
Monitor and assess developments within the broader philanthropic, policy, and public discourse landscapes to identify opportunities for The Endowment to engage, inform, and influence critical audiences through innovative and equity-centered communication strategies. Maintain productive and collaborative relationships throughout the enterprise to identify, assess, and support strategic communication needs and opportunities to supplement and enhance local, regional, and state efforts in the ecosystem and/or with grantee partners.

Ensure protocols and plans for a consistent feedback loop of collaboration, measurement, efficacy, and adaptation so that The Endowment’s communications and narrative goals are furthered by our grantmaking programs to partners.

Strategically engage and manage relationships with amplifiers and ecosystem partners – including funders, policymakers, narrative strategists, and coalition members – to expand The Endowment’s reach, influence public discourse, and strengthen alignment across the communications landscape.

Measurement and Learning for Impact

Engage with the Chief Strategy Officer and Knowledge Management colleagues to establish and track measurable, achievable annual communication goals and objectives.
Partner with Knowledge Management colleagues to establish approaches and methods to capture key learnings from communications investments and activities.
Incorporate quantitative and qualitative data and performance feedback to refine communication strategies and make informed adjustments, maintaining alignment with The Endowment’s mission and responding to enterprise-wide needs.

WEAVE: THE SOCIAL FABRIC PROJECT

Weave: The Social Fabric Project tackles the problem of broken social trust that has left Americans divided, lonely, and in social gridlock. Weave connects, supports, and invests in local leaders stepping up to weave a new, inclusive social fabric where they live. The project was founded by New York Times columnist and author David Brooks at The Aspen Institute in 2018. He remains the chair of the project.

Weave supports the people (“weavers”) who are building trust and tackling key issues in their neighborhoods. It provides them with resources and connects them in peer networks. It lifts up these often under-appreciated community connectors as important leaders by telling their stories and putting them on stages large and small. And Weave aims to inspire new generations of people to become weavers of their communities.

Weave seeks to spur a nation of weavers, brimming with deep, healthy connections, where mutual trust and affection is the standard, equity is implicit, and all people find joy and meaning in daily life.

ABOUT THIS ROLE

Weave: The Social Fabric Project is hiring a Director of Communications and Partnerships to help scale our mission and elevate our impact. This senior leader will shape and implement strategies that amplify our thought leadership, lead powerful storytelling, cultivate internal and external relationships, support fund development, and lead national campaigns that inspire a grassroots movement of connection and belonging.

Weave’s mission is to support the everyday people who are rebuilding trust, deepening belonging, and weaving a strong, new social fabric in their communities. This role requires someone who thinks strategically, has invented and launched major initiatives, has broad experience across all types of storytelling, pays meticulous attention to choosing words and stories that resonate with distinct audiences, and is eager to learn from people rooted in their communities.

This role reports to the Executive Director. The salary range for this position is $160,000 - $180,000. Employees are expected to work in-person at the office at least two days a week.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Thought Leadership

Design and implement a thought leadership strategy that lifts up Weave’s ideas, programs, and impact.
Secure speaking opportunities, op-eds, media features, and partnerships to showcase our insights.
Oversee and expand Weave’s Speakers Bureau of grassroots leaders.
Partner with the Executive Director to craft compelling messages that elevate the importance of social trust and belonging in healing a divided nation.
Surface and amplify the stories and wisdom of weavers across the country.

Communications

Oversee and edit brand messaging and storytelling across all channels—web, social, newsletter, paid and earned media, reports, and more.
Ensure all communications are mission-aligned, nonpartisan, clear, consistent, and trust-focused.
Oversee press outreach and media relations, serving as a spokesperson when needed.
Oversee expansion of Weave’s newsletter subscribers, website visitors, and social followers.
Advocate for and manage the user experience in all communications and programs that involve the public.

Internal and External Partnerships

Develop and steward relationships with nonprofits, funders, cultural influencers, media, and civic leaders.
Collaborate across Aspen Institute teams and departments to align messaging and maximize partnership opportunities.
Represent Weave in cross-sector spaces and national networks, strengthening our visibility and trust.
Support the development of shared initiatives, campaigns, or activations with aligned partners.

Strategic Initiatives: Growing the Weave Movement

Design and implement national grassroots campaigns to spread the ethic of weaving, encourage people to identify as weavers, increase participation in Weave’s programs, and uplift weavers across the U.S.
Oversee, expand, and implement campaigns to increase awareness and use of the Trust Map.
Elevate weaver voices through dynamic storytelling, digital engagement, and community-based amplification.
Work with national partners and ambassadors to activate Weave’s movement in new communities and networks.

Fund Development

Craft with the Executive Director all current and prospective donor communications, proposals, and reports.
Create compelling donor brochures and presentations articulating Weave’s impact and vision.
Contribute to stewardship strategies that deepen funder trust and partnership.
Make presentations and meet with prospects to cultivate new philanthropic partners.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO THRIVE

Strategic Communications Leadership: At least 8–10 years of experience designing and leading integrated communications strategies, ideally for mission-driven or social change organizations.
Storytelling & Editorial Excellence: Demonstrated strength in writing and editing content across platforms (op-eds, speeches, newsletters, digital media, press materials) with a clear editorial voice and emotional resonance.
Media and Public Relations: Experience securing media coverage, building relationships with journalists, and managing press strategy.
Thought Leadership Development: Ability to position an organization and its leaders as influential voices on a national stage.
Campaign and Movement Building: Experience planning and executing national campaigns or initiatives that mobilize public engagement or spread cultural values.
Partnership Development: Strong track record of identifying, cultivating, and sustaining multi-sector partnerships—nonprofits, funders, civic leaders, and cultural influencers.
Digital Strategy Fluency: Proficiency in leveraging web, social media, and digital storytelling tools to grow reach and deepen engagement.

You'll be a good fit if...

You believe stories can change hearts, shift narratives, and heal divides—and you know how to identify and tell them well.
You thrive in fast-paced environments where no two days are the same and where creativity, initiative, and collaboration are key.
You’re energized by big ideas and small details—from national campaigns to the layout of a newsletter.
You’re a connector—of people, ideas, and resources—and you build trust wherever you go.
You’re inspired by community builders and want to amplify the voices of people creating change from the ground up.
You’ve got a startup spirit but value structure, clarity, and strategic thinking.
You see belonging, building trust, and connecting our communities as the most important work we can do to create a united and healthy nation.

To be considered for this role you are required to respond to the prompt below in no more than 500-750 word:

Weave supports neighbors who are quietly transforming their communities. How would you communicate the value of investing in trust-building at the local level to funders who may be more familiar with supporting large institutions or traditional nonprofits?

Please write a short piece that could be used as the foundation for a funder-facing communication—this could take the form of a one-pager, a letter, or a narrative section of a proposal. Your response should make a compelling case for supporting relational, community-rooted work that may not always align with traditional philanthropic models.

Please note that-

Your writing should be in word format in a separate document from your cover letter
Your response should attest to your skills and ability to craft clear, compelling narratives while translating complex concepts into consumable, persuasive language
You should only submit work that is original and written by you. The use of AI-generated or third party-written content is not permitted.
