Dear Colleagues,

It is with great enthusiasm that we welcome W. Scott Graham (Scott) to the Special Events & Stewardship team. As a Program Director within the Executive Events team, Scott will work on events such as Groundbreakings, Blessings and Dedications, Advisory Council weekends, Stewardship events, and a variety of University events including Commencement. Scott will report to Cristi Ganyard.

Scott joins Notre Dame having worked for the past five years as Director of Tradeshows and Events with RVIA in Elkhart. In this capacity Scott’s major responsibility was to manage and lead an annual Tradeshow with over 7,500 attendees and 750,000 net square feet of exhibits, the 14th largest tradeshow in the U.S. Scott was responsible for developing, managing and implementing every aspect of the event. Scott was also responsible for Board of Directors’ meetings, reports, and presentations to the RVIA Board.

Prior to moving to the area with RVIA, Scott was with the Christian Booksellers Association (CBA) in Colorado Springs, CO. He began his career with CBA as manager of merchandising, before assuming the position of Meetings and Events Director. In this capacity he managed a Top 200 Tradeshow.

Scott has been involved with the Professional Convention Management Association, American Society of Association Executives, American Management Association, and the Convention & Visitors’ Bureau Advisory Boards in Atlanta, Denver, Indianapolis and Orlando. He holds a Bachelors degree in marketing and business management from Missouri Western State University.

Scott and his family reside in Goshen. Outside of work, Scott enjoys spending time with his twin daughters, having lunch with friends, and hiking (though he finds this a bit more challenging in Indiana than he did in Colorado!).
