I'm Taylor Rambo

Mar 2019 – Aug 2019

Managing Director

The American Pops Orchestra

I served as the inaugural managing director for a 4-year-old non-profit with an annual budget under $500,000, managing external relations for the organization, including the organization’s box office, fundraising efforts (individual, corporate and foundation donor relations), and partnerships development. During my tenure, APO earned a capacity building grant from DCTV valued between $30-50k in support of building the organization's media content and strategy. I also spearheaded the evaluation and implementation of new systems to increase organization’s capacity, including but not limited to a database implementation project and brand solidification efforts in advance of APO’s 5th Season (September 2019-May 2020).

Apr 2016 – Mar 2017

Executive and Operations Associate

Association of Performing Arts Professionals

I transitioned from seasonal to full-time employment at APAP in April of 2016, continuing many of the tasks assigned as a seasonal employee but deepening my work over time. I supported the director of finance and operations beyond operations management, receiving training in the organization's CRM and developing ways to manage and track donations reporting for 90 board members and board alumni. I also provided more board support for our quarterly board meetings, arranging catering, hotel bookings, A/V, room setup, conference calls and document/docket preparation.

At the conference, I managed the VIP conference registration process, continued to manage on-site registration volunteers and also assisted at special events put on by the conference management.
