As the Project Manager for River Network’s 2024 River Rally conference in Grand Rapids, Michigan, I oversaw all back‑end operations that kept the event running smoothly, including session solicitation, selecting awardees, and shaping the overall program. I partnered with local artists and graphic designers to create branded collateral. I authored and distributed external marketing materials that helped us reach the 400‑attendee registration goal, attracting water advocates from across the United States and Canada. The conference delivered a joyful, inclusive experience that provided meaningful benefits for participants and the broader water advocacy community.
