So I have 8 days left as an intern at the GPCVB and will begin in my position as Convention Services and Housing Coordinator on Monday, May 4. Yes I am jumping right into it! Seems a little crazy to not have a break but we were able to work out something that allows me time off this month and a week in July, which to me is even better than waiting until after graduation to begin my career. Everyone in the bureau has been so welcoming and excited for me to become a part of the team!
Back to what I'm doing at work...
Last week was really fun! We share our office with the Greater Phoenix Sports Commision and were able to help them bring back the Arizona Sports Hall of Fame Ceremony. It has been many years since there were able to hold this ceremony and I would have to say it was a success! It was held at the Phoenician and there were games (basketball, golf putting, pitching, football...) and a silent auction before the ceremony. They offered free beer and wine as well as some really good appetizers! There were so many sports figures that attended, it was awesome to be able to meet and interact with them! After the pre-ceremony festivities we were able to attend the induction where Bob Horner and Al McCoy and a few others were honored. It was such a great experience. The picture above is of the inductees at the ceremony!
For now I am gradually being trained on some of my new tasks that come along with my position while still maintaining the work I have always done. As for the rest of this week, I have 3 meetings and we are meeting with potential clients Friday.
