At Lakewood Country Club, I was appointed head of the first annual Jay Copeland Memorial Golf Tournament which honored Lakewood Oaks Country Club’s late general manager, Jay Copeland. Because this man played a major part in Lee’s Summit, Missouri’s growth, this event meant a lot to the community. With only three months to plan, I led the brainstorming, branding, marketing strategy, and communications of the event til the very last hour. We surpassed our goal and raised $25,000 and had an extraordinary turnout.
