Please accept my interest as Event Manager. I have several years of experience in

managing various aspects of meeting planning to include, contractual negotiations,

room blocks, menu selections, cancellation, attrition, working with external

vendors, and seeing projects through from beginning to end. I work efficiently in

ever-changing and fast past environments. I am able to make effective judgment

calls and make the best decision for the situation. I also have great listening skills

and can create events tailored to individuals and their specific needs.

In my current position, I work with clients on events and room blocks that range in

size from 10-3,000 attendees and 10-600 rooms. I ensure that my clients

experience a smooth planning phase, successful end results, and accurate billing

post-event. Additionally, I maintain working relationships with clients by thanking

them for their business and encourage them to re-book for future events.

I have held various positions within the hospitality industry including lobby

concierge, guest services supervisor, event planning administrative assistant and

assistant restaurant manager. I have supervised and managed between 8-30

employees and was responsible for managing aspects such as schedules, wages,

performance reviews, and ensuring guest satisfaction. These roles combined have

provided me with a wealth of knowledge and experience in the industry.

I am a highly organized, thorough, detail-oriented, a multi-tasker, and a continuous

learner. I am resourceful and learn from both my immediate colleagues as well as

from internal partners such as audio visual, security, accounting, and culinary. I

also am able and willing to travel regularly.

I feel that both my professional and personal experiences complement what you

are seeking in a candidate. I sincerely look forward to an opportunity to further

discuss my skills and how they can benefit the organization. I can be reached at

404-867-9035.

Thank you,

Courtney King
