Background

About Amy Gorman

I am an accomplished event planner with experience on a large scale, multi-faceted, high budget meetings featuring high profile guests from both the political and social realms. After a two year hiatus, I am ready to re-enter the field that I love! • I have worked in the meetings industry for almost 20 years • I have handled the registration and hotel reservations for our attendees with registrations ranging from 30 to 2500 people and reservations ranging from 20 to 950 rooms. • I have excellent written and oral communication skills • I began as an assistant to the Director of Meetings and Conventions and worked my way up to a meeting specialist. I was basically acting as an executive assistant to anywhere from 5 to 200 people at each meeting I worked. • I handled site selection, contract negotiation, registration, BEOs, room block management, On-site management, financial reporting and final reporting. • I have a passion to learn and to increase my skills. I am proficient on the computer but admit that I am not familiar with some newer programs because we used our own designed system at my previous job. I am working now to improve those skills by taking some online classes through LinkedIn and Robert Half.
