About ABFE

TITLE: Conference and Convening Manager

DEPARTMENT: Programs and Philanthropic Advising Services

REPORTS TO: Director of Programs

STATUS: Exempt

SALARY RANGE: $73,500,000 - $84,000

LOCATION: Remote

ABFE is a 501(c)(3), membership-based philanthropic organization that advocates for responsive and transformative investments in Black communities. Partnering with foundations, nonprofits and individuals, ABFE provides its members with professional development and technical assistance resources that further the philanthropic sector’s connection and responsiveness to issues of equality, diversity and inclusion. Established in 1971 as the Association of Black Foundation Executives, the all-volunteer organization was credited with many of philanthropy’s early gains in diversity. It since has evolved into a fully staffed, influential network. In 2013, the organization shed its descriptor and adopted the simpler ABFE (ab-fee) to better reflect its broadening membership.

POSITION OVERVIEW

The Conference and Convenings Manager will manage the development and delivery of program planning for ABFE’s hosted conferences, programming, webinars, and sector appearances. This person will also provide logistical and strategic support, as needed, to the Programs and Philanthropic Advising departments for events and webinars, and will aid the External Affairs team’s webinars, gatherings, and regional convenings.

The Manager should be an excellent project and people manager with a solid background in conference planning and management. Comfort in facilitating events in virtual environments and working across both internal and external stakeholders is a must. Highly skilled written and verbal communication abilities are required, as well as impeccable organizational skills and a strong customer service ethic in serving internal and external audiences. Ideally, the person would also be comfortable and competent in training small groups – such as ABFE orientations – and able to travel periodically for site selection and logistics planning, and for the organization’s conferences/meetings. There will be periods during the year where additional travel may be required.
