During a transition of executive leadership, UpStart Chicago needed a dedicated professional to manage the Chicago winter launch event to celebrate the new entrepreneurial initiatives it was supporting.
Leslie Rosen Stern was hired to plan and implement program logistics within a very tight timeframe and fulfilled staffing, photography, audio-visual and print needs; negotiated venue contracts, arranged for accessibility, product deliveries, catering, and prepared event personnel. Working with UpStart colleagues in San Francisco, Leslie managed the guest list, payments, and successful set up and break-down of the event.
Leslie Rosen Stern is the ultimate communal professional. She can take a concept for a program and develop it with elegance and attention to detail. She can ask strategic questions, create marketing materials and make everyone involved feel lucky to have been involved.
