• Managing both internal and external event calendars to keep OFRE’s schedule organized and up-to-date.
• Collaborating with the Marketing Chair to promote events and maximize community engagement.
• Coordinating logistics for internal events, such as cider pressings or workshops, including creating Eventbrite listings and arranging instructors and venues.
• Maintaining event materials, such as banners and handouts, and ensuring they are ready and available.
• Communicating with participants to answer event-related questions and providing support as needed.
• Recruiting and coordinating volunteers for external and internal events, and ensuring OFRE representatives are in attendance.
• Monitoring opportunities for OFRE to participate in external events and assessing community involvement.

The Events Committee is all about bringing people together to celebrate, learn, and engage with local food systems.

This committee oversees both OFRE-led and community events, ensuring smooth planning, organization, and coordination with OFRE’s partners and volunteers. The Events Coordinator plays a pivotal role in establishing event dates, managing logistics, and keeping the Events Calendar up-to-date.

Working closely with the Marketing Chair to promote events, the Events Coordinator also communicates with participants and manages volunteer involvement, ensuring each event is impactful and well-staffed.

Whether it’s organizing a hands-on cider pressing or setting up an educational workshop, the Events Committee makes each OFRE event a memorable experience that strengthens our community connections.
