A majority of my time is spent answering calls and messages related to hall rental inquiries.
I spend a great deal of time ensuring that the union hall is rental-ready and ensuring renters have everything they need for a successful event, including providing access to the hall via electronic keycard, monitoring the HVAC and hall temperature as well as the security system. I am the first point of contact for the security company when the alarm is triggered for any reason. This often means getting calls on weeknights and weekends, requiring someone to check in at the hall to ensure its security.
