Auxiliary Program Coordinator Jobs in Tennessee (NOW HIRING)

Description
Purpose and Scope
The Associate Manager serves the Association by supporting leaders in equipping members for effective ministry. A key component of member preparation occurs through events that communicate leadership direction, provide practical training, and encourage members in their service. These events - including International, USA State, and National Association Conventions - serve as a primary channel for translating direction from cabinets and committees into guidance that equips members to implement Ministry Programs effectively at the camp level in their local communities.
While the Associate Manager supports the planning and execution of all events, the Associate Manager fills a dual role effectively splitting her focus between supporting needs of the Association externally and leading efforts that ensure visitors (members, leaders, and guests) to the building are properly hosted. This role will work closely with the Senior Manager, Ministry Events & Auxiliary to ensure leadership guidance and feedback are accurately reflected in inputs to the Planning & Design team, are coordinated with direction from other leaders, and are reflected in event programming, supporting resources, and resulting activities.
The Associate Manager also supports International Auxiliary Cabinet Representatives as they attend events and deliver key messages that equip leaders and members. When appropriate, the Associate Manager may also serve as a presenter at various events, delivering content that advances the Auxiliary's purpose of assisting the Gideons in fulfilling their single objective.
