About Renee Hunt

I am driven to be that person in the office who can always be counted on. The one who meets deadlines and sends friendly reminders to coworkers. The one that breaks down big projects into tasks and timelines and makes sure everyone is on the same page. Someone who when faced with a new challenge takes it on with the motto “failure is not an option.”I am motivated to provide excellent customer service and be a reliable team player and leader. I’ve carried out this passion in my career by: • Providing high-level executive and board support, including: scheduling, meeting logistics, document management, notetaking/recordkeeping, travel arrangements, external and internal correspondence, and maintaining confidentiality • Organizing 14 multi-day conferences and other events through the years • Establishing procedures and structures to carry out activities and meet administrative obligations • Managing the establishment of multiple programs and related staff growth • Cultivating relationships with business and agency representatives, stakeholders and volunteersI love details. And multitasking. I am at my best when I have several challenges in front of me. No task is too big or too small. I’ve been described in the workplace as a “juggler who has multiple plates rotating on multiple sticks in the air,” able to keep my own plates spinning “but also those of everyone else so that we avoid any crashes.” Away from work you’ll find me training for a half marathon or marathon, depending on the time of year. Running helps clear my mind and also gives me time to problem solve. I also cherish some runs–especially those longer ones–with friends.
