Liaison
Role:
A liaison acts between two parties as the communicator. You make sure that those parties arrive to certain activities on time. As the liaision, don't be surprised if senior officials refer to you as their go-to person. Because that's essentially what you are.
Your communication skills have to be on-point when it comes to being a liaision. In fact, that's such an important part of being a liaision that if you can't communicate well then you won't do this job well either.
Another important aspect of being a liaision is being able to negotiate. If you can't help resolve disagreements in a calm manner, then what's the point of having you around? The key here is keeping your cool.
