WAGE:
$20 per hour
 
ABOUT US:
We are born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, love exploring the rocks, mountains, rivers, and hills of the beautiful left coast. We have a passion for our region and an obsession with creating a community of fellow Northwesterners who utilize fitness and the outdoors for physical and emotional health. Our Family Facility here in Hermiston was built with the community in mind, incorporating the youth to elderly. An Event Specialist is a vital role that focuses on creating, organizing, and executing events and programs to engage the local community and promote health and fitness.
 
ABOUT THE POSITION:
An Event Specialist is responsible for all aspects of delivering upon this expectation which will require a willingness to learn, the ability to find fulfillment in service, and a huge motor and sense of pride to build HAC into a staple of the community rather than another gym in town. Through the support and training of the leadership and management the Event Specialist drives attendance in HAC/ Community events, creates an atmosphere of inclusion for all, and builds a connection with all the local business and community and people of Hermiston and surrounding areas. 
 
If you are a a driven individual who likes to build, thrives in helping and cheering on others, walks the walk, takes ownership by following policies and procedures, likes to set and achieve goals, and don’t mind throwing on some tennies and busting out the last mile with a member, please keep reading.
