About Charles Beatty

As Director of Events at the Cincinnati Ballet, I am entrusted with the comprehensive oversight of all aspects of special projects, from conceptualization to completion. My responsibilities encompass the identification and procurement of requisite resources, equipment, and personnel to ensure the timely and budget-compliant execution of each endeavor. Additionally, I have a proven track record in overseeing all CB events and private rentals at the Center for Dance, ensuring seamless execution and client satisfaction. I actively promoted and cultivated new business for private events, representing CB at various exhibits and trade shows. Moreover, I meticulously managed logistical planning and execution for all Cincinnati Ballet events, both onsite and offsite, while also providing professional development opportunities for staff. I maintained event-related permits and licenses, including liquor and food service licenses, and meticulously managed event budgets, inventory controls, and communication with internal and external stakeholders. Furthermore, I recruited, hired, and trained event staff and vendor partners, and collaborated with all departments to support upcoming events and post-event follow-up. My role also involved coordinating with external vendors to negotiate services and ensure budget compliance, as well as managing equipment repair requests, maintenance schedules, and procurement of event supplies. I actively engaged in providing sales tours, writing and executing private rental proposals and contracts, and handling billing processes. Acting as the lead point of contact for clients, I ensured clear communication and expectations, and collaborated with the Operations Team for event-related support needs. During my tenure as Project Coordinator at The River City News, I demonstrated a commitment to enhancing internal processes and procedures, resulting in heightened operational efficiency, cost reduction, and the establishment of seamless workflows. My skill set extends to proficiency in various software applications, including Microsoft Office, Microsoft Exchange, PeopleSoft 7, Agent Call Center System, Venue Ops, ADP payroll, and MakeShift. I possess adept computer operation capabilities on both PC and MAC platforms, augmented by over 15 years of experience in the theatre industry. Additionally, I am proficient in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, and boast experience in independent film production.
