As a Client Services Coordinator at Grand Valley State University’s conference center, the Eberhard Center, I am responsible for arranging and overseeing events for businesses, non-profits, and government agencies in the local Grand Rapids area that take place in our building.  Meetings can range anywhere from 10 people to 500 and cover a wide spectrum of topics, goals, and objectives.  My job also entails the initial pitching and selling of Eberhard Center’s meeting space through personal tours, phone inquiries, and responding to RFP’s.  Additionally, I coordinate several wedding receptions a year, orchestrating arrangements with catering, florists, photographers, linen companies, and local hotels.
