Last week, we had the pleasure of sharing with you our most favorite memories from this year's
International Citizen of the Year Award Dinner. Just as it was for the 2013 honoree, Mark Miles, it was likewise a very special occasion for The International Center. The evening program that every guest had a chance to attend was a success! With any event of such magnitude, there is a lot of work and preparation, of course, that happens behind the scenes: this part of event planning is something that not everyone gets to experience.
Alyssa Ufer, our International Citizen of the Year Event Management Intern, was tasked as part of her academic assignment, to assist in the planning process for this year's event. In the beginning, Alyssa was very excited to be working on every aspect of this major fundraising event. As the weeks progressed, however, the work began to take its toll: invitation lists and designs were her oxygen, whereas, table diagrams and table number assignments were the nutrition.
All joking aside, Alyssa did an exceptional job with planning and managing this year's event. Our team at The Center couldn't have been more lucky to have such a dedicated and hardworking individual on board. From all of us here at The Center, we would like to wish Alyssa all the best and success in her future endeavors! Thank you very much for taking on this project and, most of all, for executing it so beautifully.
And now, let's hear it from the person who was in the midst of it all! This is Alyssa's story...
