About the Company
SACL is an innovative, Dallas-based company in the chapter and association management industry. We provide a number of strategic, administrative, event, fundraising and bookkeeping services to non-profit organizations. Our clients span a wide range, though we do have a concentration in ivy league university groups and private associations.
Most of our clients are non-profit entities run by sharp and committed professionals volunteering their time in service to the organization – and our role is to make it is easy as possible for these volunteers to be successful. The vast majority of these volunteers are performing their functions in their spare time, outside typical work and family responsibilities. Accordingly, we are available during those standard off times to assist the volunteers when they are available to work with us.
We are a small and mighty team of 1099 contractors experiencing significant growth through word of mouth. The culture is friendly and supportive, yet fast-paced, fluid and dynamic as you might expect from a growing organization.
Job Description
SACL is seeking a friendly, Dallas-based, service- and detail-oriented people to provide event management and administrative support to its client organizations by working alongside their volunteer leadership. This person would mainly work from home while supporting events in-person roughly one to two times a week - often over lunch, in the evenings or on weekends. Event locations vary but tend to be between downtown Dallas and Addison. This role does not simply perform requested tasks, but rather takes on responsibility for ensuring the client organization runs smoothly. Each team member serves as a lead for at least one, and possibly more clients depending on available time.
This roll will also support two very exciting trips per year for a client - one domestic and often one international. The coordinator will work with the client organizers to plan each trip, participate in a scouting trip to the region, manage the schedule, budget and attendees, and provide on-site support.
Although the role is a work-from-home opportunity, it is not isolated. Rather, there is regular communication across the team and with clients, compounded by weekly team conference calls to keep everyone in sync and in-person events each month.

- Maintain the client’s website including posting events, generating tickets, updating content, managing the member database, transactional support and reporting.
- Perform the communication functions via the regular creation and dissemination of newsletters, social media and other channels.
- Act as the customer support function and the face of the client for the client’s membership responding to questions and providing assistance.
- Coordinate with the team bookkeeper on behalf of the client.

- Experience working with non-profits a plus.
Office Requirements
- Excellent knowledge and extensive use of Microsoft Office (especially Word and Excel), with strong computer skills in general.
