Brisbane-based Fun(d)raising Events Manager

fws plans to host a flash fundraiser in Brisbane every year. What this night needs is an Events Manager who canorganise a creative, exotic event by:

creating an enticing line-up and theme for the evening (must-see entertainment, a live auction, a silent auction, a celebrity MC, a lively and motivating auction caller, a theme that can be carried through dress, food, drinks and decor, etc)
procuring brilliant auction prizes (which would hopefully promote our eco-friendly status and include stuff like a smart car, electric scooter, slow-cooking trip to Italy, eco-retreat in FNQ, an eco-analysis of your home, etc)
getting the right crowd there - high-income individuals and corporate tables that have money to spend and will be enticed to spend/donate it as they realise what a fabulous evening they are having (and of course, what a terrific cause fws supports).

Average 2 hours per week, more leading up to event.

Forever more?
