Doris Chan
Administrative Assistant (Meetings, Events and Communications)
I joined the Kennedy Institute in June 2023 to manage the organisation of meetings, seminars and events.
The Kennedy Institute runs a busy schedule of external and internal seminars, together with management and faculty meetings, and special events such as institute retreats and meetings with advisory boards and other high-profile visitors. I’m responsible for the scheduling and administration required to ensure the smooth running of these and other meetings. My role also involves organizing events for the Institute, managing the logistics and liaison with different parties.
I also provide administrative support for the guest speakers, including developing agendas, organising travel and accommodation, and providing expense reimbursements.
Additionally, I assist the NDORMS Communications Team as needed and create and manage information sources, including social media posts to ensure that all seminars and events are appropriately publicised.
In my spare time, I like to go hiking and explore new places; meet friends for coffee; read books and listen to music in a relaxed setting.
