Status: Full-time / Exempt
Reports to: Senior Director of Public Engagement

Position Summary:
The Program and Events Coordinator plays a crucial role in supporting the successful planning and execution of Illinois Humanities' programs and events. Acting as a vital bridge between public programming and the administrative team, this position ensures seamless coordination, timely execution, and professional support throughout all phases of events and programs (with the exception of development-led events). This role is responsible for coordinating Illinois Humanities' signature programs and events, including, but not limited to, People's Salons, the Envisioning Justice Statewide Convening, One State, the Gwendolyn Brooks Youth Poetry Awards, the Odyssey Graduation Ceremony, and other public humanities programs and special initiatives as assigned.
The Program and Events Coordinator is responsible for ensuring staff, presenters, partners, vendors, and supplies are present, prepared, and in the right place at the right time. This "back of house" logistical coordination enables program managers and directors to focus on engagement with partners, audiences, and participants.
This position will require occasional travel within Illinois.

  • Support and execute Run of Show for public events; share Run of Show documents, site maps, and other necessary event information with staff; be present during events to answer questions and troubleshoot.
  • Schedule and attend production meetings as needed before public events—with A/V providers, event managers, designers, partners, and other relevant parties—as requested by program managers or directors; track logistics before and during events.
  • Support day-of logistics and on-site production needs.

Internal Administrative Support (Approximately 30%)
  • Serve as a member of the Administrative Team and as a liaison for Statewide Programs, Public Engagement, and Teaching and Learning; ensure program and event workflows comply with internal and operational processes and policies.
  • Prepare and process program and event invoices and expense vouchers.
  • Supports database maintenance and assists in data entry projects.
  • Respond to info@ilhumanities.org and route inquiries as needed.
  • Maintain event planning tools (e.g., departmental Asana calendars).
