College Events and Protocol Director

We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if content present. Use

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We need to include sections based on content. Let's parse posting: - About Franklin & Marshall College: description of college. Could be "About the role"? Actually "About Franklin & Marshall College" is about the institution, not role. The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. We can use "About the role" heading for description of role? But we have a "Job Description" section. Might map to "About the role". We'll include a section with heading

About the role

and include the description paragraphs about the role (the Job Description paragraphs). Also we have "Essential Functions" which are duties/responsibilities. So we can put those under

Responsibilities

as a list. We have "Requirements: Required Qualifications:" and "Preferred Qualifications:" which we can combine into Requirements and Qualifications sections? The instruction: use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where. We have Required Qualifications list (education, experience, skills). Also Preferred Qualifications list. Could put under

Requirements

for required, and

Qualifications

for preferred? Or combine. The instruction says use headings exactly those words; we can include both if content. We have Skills: maybe list of skills like communication, Google Suite, etc. Could be under Skills. We have Benefits: description of benefits in "Exceptional Employee Benefits" and later "Additional Information" about benefits. So we can include Benefits section. Pay: we have "Approved Annual Salary Range: Approved up to $73,500.00 annually". That's pay info. So include Pay section. Schedule: we have "Schedule: 40 hours, Monday - Friday. Will require evenings and weekends." So include Schedule. We also have location etc but we can drop minor metadata. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, FAQs, navigation, etc. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting that are substantive, but we can format as HTML. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. Not present. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's gather content: About the role: The Job Description paragraphs (starting after "Job Description:" maybe duplicate). Let's extract: "Franklin & Marshall College is recruiting for a full-time College Events & Protocol Director." Then "Job Details:" maybe not needed. Then "Job Description:" repeated: "The College Events and Protocol Director provides strategic vision, executive leadership, and comprehensive management and coordination for major college-wide ceremonies, high-profile institutional events, all presidential events, and strategic initiatives. Reporting to the Vice President for Communications and Marketing, this role ensures all events reflect the College's mission, brand standards, and level of excellence while providing a dignified experience for all attendees. The Director establishes and manages campus-wide event governance, protocols, and standard operating procedures. Exercising dotted-line functional authority over event planning personnel across all academic and administrative units, the Director oversees cross-departmental coordination, master calendar alignment, risk management, and brand execution across all campus events. The Director also personally coordinates events for the Office of the President, including events at Nevonia, the president's residence." We can include that as prose under About the role. Responsibilities: Essential Functions list with bullet points. We'll convert each bullet to

under

. List: - Ceremony and Institutional Event Management: Direct the strategic planning, coordination, and execution of College ceremonies and presidential events, including Commencement, Convocation, December graduation, Board of Trustees meetings, ancillary/advisory board meetings, various ceremonies and celebrations, and events at Nevonia, the president's house.

Establish college-wide event standards, best-practice toolkits, and training; maintain oversight of the institutional master event calendar to eliminate scheduling conflicts, promote sustainable, eco-friendly event practices when possible, and align college brand messaging. - Budget and Vendor Management: Develop and manage operating budgets associated with signature ceremonies and institutional events, monitoring expenditures and negotiating high-value contracts with key campus vendors (e.g., printing, catering, security, florists, rental companies). - Event Operations, Safety, and Compliance: Serve as the primary operational partner to Dining Services, Facilities, ITS/AV, Public Safety, and Accessibility Services to establish emergency action plans, weather contingency plans, and ADA compliance standards for major public gatherings. - Team Recruitment and Leadership: Recruit, train, mentor, and manage event support teams, including student workers, staff partners, and volunteers, fostering professional development and high service standards. - Institutional Representation: Represent the priorities of the Communications and Marketing division and executive leadership by serving on designated College committees. - All other duties as assigned.

Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications list: - Master's degree in communications, marketing, higher education administration, or related discipline. - Prior professional work experience supporting executive leadership or central communications within a higher education environment, ideally at a small liberal arts college. - 7 or more years of experience in high-level event management and institutional governance. We'll put under Qualifications. Skills: Could extract specific skills like communication, Google Suite, etc. But we already have those in Requirements. Might still create Skills section for things like "Excellent oral, written, interpersonal communication skills.", "Proficiency in Google Suite Products", "Evidence of a commitment to community & belonging." But those are already in Requirements. To avoid duplication, maybe we don't need Skills section if content overlaps. But instruction says we can include sections only when posting has real specific content for it. We have skills content; we could put them under Skills. However we already used them in Requirements. Might be okay to duplicate? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Duplicating is not inventing, but could be considered redundant but still preserving. However better to avoid duplication; we could move skills to Skills section and keep Requirements focused on education/experience. Let's parse: Required Qualifications includes education, experience, demonstration, capability, communication skills, Google Suite proficiency, commitment, driver's license, interview, background checks. We could split: Requirements: education and experience (Bachelor's degree, 5 years experience, demonstrated experience directing events, capability to exercise matrixed leadership). Qualifications: maybe preferred qualifications. Skills: communication skills, Google Suite, commitment to community & belonging, driver's license? Driver's license is more a requirement than skill. Interview and background checks are process. But to keep simple, we can have Requirements (education/experience), Qualifications (preferred), Skills (communication, Google Suite, commitment). Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Let's extract: Skills: - Excellent oral, written, interpersonal communication skills. - Proficiency in Google Suite Products (Docs, Gmail, Sheets, Slides, Drive) - Evidence of a commitment to community & belonging. Maybe also "Valid driver's license." could be under Requirements or Skills; but we can put under Requirements as a requirement. We'll keep Requirements: education, experience, demonstrated experience, capability, valid driver's license, successful interview, background checks. Qualifications: preferred qualifications. Skills: as above. Benefits: from "Exceptional Employee Benefits" paragraph and later "Additional Information" about benefits. Let's extract benefits text: "Exceptional Employee Benefits We support our staff with a competitive total rewards program designed to provide exceptional work-life harmony. Employees receive a generous 10% employer retirement contribution, alongside comprehensive medical, dental, and life insurance coverage plans. To support your family, the college provides valuable tuition benefits for eligible dependents, while also offering generous paid vacation allocations and recognized holiday closures to ensure ample time for rest and recovery.

To learn more about our Benefits, please visit our Benefits Page." We need to preserve all substantive info. Combine. We'll produce a Benefits section with paragraphs (maybe two

  ). Pay: "Approved Annual Salary Range: Approved up to $73,500.00 annually". We'll put as

  Approved annual salary range: up to $73,500.

  (preserve exact). Schedule: "Schedule: 40 hours, Monday - Friday. Will require evenings and weekends." We'll put as

  Schedule: 40 hours, Monday – Friday; requires evenings and weekends.

  Now ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. Now produce HTML fragment:
