1. Internship Summer 2016
Ms. Elizabeth Segovia
Start June 1 – Sept. 3
Our goal is to give you a good balance of sales/event planning
along with banquetmanagement. We believe that the above
schedule will offer you exposure to both sides of the Event
Business. Having both perspectives will assist you in
formulating a full understanding of what it takes to make an
event happenfrom the beginning stages to the end of the
event. We have split up the internship into two separate
profiles but in the end we believe it will help you get the big
picture of how to pull of an event at Ceresville Mansion!
