Rooted in strong family and faith-based values, Pacific Hospitality Group emphasizes enriching people’s lives through memorable experiences, community engagement, and honoring God in every aspect of their work. This culture fosters a nurturing environment where integrity, respect, humility, and customer focus form the foundation of all operations.

The Napa Institute, a part of this group, is seeking an Events Coordinator to be based in their Washington, DC office. This role reports directly to the Lead Events Manager and focuses on supporting the execution of high-profile Napa Institute events primarily located on the eastern half of the United States. The Events Coordinator will play a crucial part in organizing and coordinating major conferences and special events such as the Summer Conference, Faith and Business Conference in New York City, Napa Nights, as well as other special dinners and one-off events. Attention to detail, proactive communication, organizational skills, and the ability to thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment are essential for success in this role.

The position offers an hourly wage ranging from $24.00 to $30.00, reflecting the importance of the role and the expertise required. Travel along the East Coast, with occasional trips to California, is necessary to support event logistics and coordination.

Responsibilities include managing venue contracts, budget oversight, registration processes, communications with attendees, program development, logistics coordination, and on-site event management. The role requires excellent leadership skills, financial acumen, and adeptness in cross-departmental collaboration.
