The Domestic Violence Interagency Collaborative is seeking proposals for a conference/event planner to coordinate, plan, arrange and promote the 15th Annual Santa Clara County Domestic Violence Council Conference on October 19, 2007. The goal is to provide 300-500 participants with a memorable and valuable experience through education, training and networking and to assist Council commissioners in the planning process.
The bidder should understand that the DVC is an appointed body of Commissioners who volunteer their time and also hold 40+ hour a week jobs in addition to the work they do on the Council. The bidder will work with an ad-hoc committee of Commissioners who will help guide the conference planning. We will expect the bidder to conduct most of the work and report back to the committee on a regularly scheduled basis. This can include but is not limited to marketing the event, holding monthly meetings, setting agendas, acting as liaison with the selected venue, registration processing, fundraising, media exposure and all logistics prior to and on the day of the conference. Bidder will be required to provide a marketing and fundraising plan and must provide a final report once the conference is completed. The contract for this event shall not exceed $10,000.
