You’ll start your morning on-site at 225 Commerce Ave SW, getting settled and checking what’s on deck for the week—calendar invites, incoming requests, and any upcoming trainings or gatherings.

Afternoons can shift into “event-ready mode,” where you’re coordinating details so everything feels welcoming and organized.
