Event Manager

The Event Manager helps plan and owns execution of a variety of school events, including, but not limited to, our annual Bay Splash community-building and fundraising event, opening day reception, new parent/guardian dinner, Grandfriends Day, exhibition events, graduation, reunions and various other community events throughout the year.

The Bay School is heavily focused on community engagement and stewardship with an array of events and activities sponsored by the Development office and the Bay Family Association.

The Event Manager is ideally a quick study and a self-starter, enthusiastic about getting to know the school community, culture, and systems; and, like the rest of the team, demonstrates a willingness to wear many hats.

The Development office is responsible for all of the school’s fundraising initiatives and works closely with the Board of Trustees, the Bay faculty and staff, the students, the Bay Family Association, parent volunteers as well as alumni and alumni parents.

Every person on the team contributes to the success of this position and the busy event schedule.
