Associate Director of Events Northeastern University
With 12 years of event management experience, Leila Eid prides herself on doing whatever it takes to ensure guests are impressed— from the invitation to the parting gift.
Leila received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism with a minor in Business Management from Northeastern University in 2004. She joined Northeastern full-time as Special Events Coordinator in the Office of Development, planning and executing a range of events-from black-tie galas, to silent auctions, regional alumni events, and golf outings. In 2006, she was appointed Assistant Director of Advancement Events. Additionally, Leila has worked in both public relations and advertising as junior account executives at Regan Communications Group in Boston and Media Results in Wilmington, MA.
Recently completing the Meeting and Event Management certificate program at NU, Leila is a member of the International Special Events Society (ISES) and attends industry trade shows and conferences, enabling her to stay ahead of the trends and build relationships with vendors and industry leaders.
In her spare time, Leila volunteers for Boston-area non-profit events like the Annual Joshua Frase Foundation Muscle Dream Team Gala, and sits on the Board of Directors for the American Lebanese Awareness Association, spearheading its annual scholarship gala.
