Staff
Michael Weaver
Class Logistics Coordinator
Seamless Scheduling.
Structured Communication.
Reliable Tracking.
Michael Weaver serves as the Class Logistics Coordinator, managing the full lifecycle of student class scheduling—from initial coordination through follow-up—so leadership can focus on program impact instead of back-and-forth communication. He coordinates student and instructor availability, sends structured email and text confirmations, tracks attendance, confirms class completion, and ensures the registration platform is updated accurately and consistently. Operating with professionalism, clarity, and efficiency, Michael supports existing classes through organized logistics and reliable tracking, while strategic decisions, curriculum design, and final approvals remain under human oversight.
