Save the Lake Event Coordinator

Admin/Operations Event Planning and Management Leadership and Management Marketing and Communications Outreach and Community Engagement Program/Project Management

The Utah Rivers Council is seeking an energetic individual with strong communication and organization skills to help develop and coordinate two public events where attendees will learn about the political and economic barriers preventing Utah from saving the Great Salt Lake. At these events, we will provide preliminary education on water policy issues in the region before the 2027 Utah Legislative Session begins. 

The Save The Lake Event Coordinator will plan, develop, and coordinate two URC events scheduled in mid-January. One event will be an online workshop intended to educate current legislators and elected officials. The other event will be a public, in-person forum with three or four podium presentations and a panel discussion on water law, economics, and management solutions. The goal of both events is to outline the limitations of Utah’s current water policies and then plot a course for action.


This is a full-time, temporary position with compensation dependent upon experience.

We are looking for someone who excels at working both independently and collaboratively. The ideal candidate has a personable communication style, excellent writing skills, computer skills, and a serious work ethic. Additional skills and qualifications include:

  • Experience planning, marketing, and coordinating public events

  • An ability to communicate ideas with enthusiasm and credibility

  • Attention to detail

  • Self-direction, self-motivation, and integrity

  • Familiarity with audio-visual equipment
