The position balances a wide range of responsibilities. In addition to fundraising events, candidates with experience in logistics, customer service, sales, volunteer management, vendor management, outreach, website and graphic design will find those skills helpful in this role. The candidate must be able to anticipate project needs, discern changing priorities, and meet multiple deadlines. The candidate will recognize personal and organization limitations (time and resources) to prioritize time and opportunities accordingly. 

The incumbent will embody PRO spirit and values as s/he interacts with donors, community partners, volunteers and other staff. A genuine interest in PRO’s mission will manifest through professional and compassionate responses to the special needs of people living with PD. 

In 2022, primary responsibility and focus of this position will be the success of Sole Support for Parkinson’s, a series of four Peer-to-Peer fundraising walks held in Bend, Eugene, Vancouver, and Portland. The outcome of this event hinges upon the incumbent’s ability to organize hundreds of supporters, motivating them with tools and encouragement for their fundraising efforts. The Coordinator should anticipate additional event coordination responsibilities as in-person gatherings resume and other events are vetted for viability.
