Event planning and management - Community Conservation Symposium - West Coast
West Coast Penguin Trust
Estimated Time: 20 - 40 Hours Over 1 - 4 Months
West Coast Penguin Trust is presenting a mini conference to support community conservation on the West Coast. We will be bringing speakers to the region that for those working or volunteering in conservation might not otherwise get to hear or to meet with. It will provide a networking opportunity, connecting up those involved with each other and with experts and those who can help. There will be a one day conference on 14th June at the Tai Poutini Polytechnic in Greymouth followed by field trips on 15th June. We are seeking an event planner who can assist with the practicalities of organizing a conference who can commit regularly. If you are organised and keen on making a difference to conservation work on the West Coast this is for you!
