The Honor Bell Foundation's mission is to create a community of veterans, foster public appreciation of military service, and ensure fellow veterans receive a proper and meaningful final tribute. At the heart of the Honor Bell Foundation's mission are Bell Honors at military and veteran funerals and interments. The Bell Operations Coordinator – Fort Logan is entrusted with carrying that mission forward each day by ensuring final honors are delivered with dignity, precision, and reverence for every veteran and family we serve.

This position is truly at the heart of our work. From preparing and transporting the Honor Bell, to coordinating and leading Bell Guards, to ensuring each ceremony is ready and conducted according to Honor Bell standards, the Coordinator helps fulfill the Foundation's most important responsibility: to be present when a veteran is laid to rest and to render a final tribute worthy of their service and sacrifice.

This is a highly independent, hands-on role combining funeral operations, volunteer coordination, scheduling, technology, vehicle and equipment stewardship, and compassionate service to veterans and their families. Every schedule entry represents a veteran. Every service represents a family. Every toll carries a story of service, sacrifice, and a life worthy of being honored and remembered.

• Drive and operate the Foundation's extended length, high-roof Ford Transit each workday, transporting the Honor Bell from its off-site storage location to Fort Logan National Cemetery, between scheduled funeral services throughout the cemetery, and back to storage at the end of the day.
• Coordinate daily Bell Honors, including positioning, deploying, securing, and returning the Honor Bell and Foundation vehicle for each scheduled service.
• Lead or coordinate volunteer Bell Guards in rendering final Bell Honors in accordance with Foundation standards and ceremonial protocols.
• Coordinate Bell Guard scheduling, communication, recruitment, orientation, and training.
• Assist with receiving, scheduling, confirming, and updating Bell Honor requests and maintain accurate service records.
• Use Foundation database, scheduling, email, Google Workspace, and shared systems to support daily operations.
• Maintain the Honor Bell, vehicle, deployment system, and ceremonial equipment in clean, safe, and service-ready condition.
• Coordinate routine vehicle and equipment maintenance and promptly report safety or operational concerns.
• Represent the Honor Bell Foundation professionally and compassionately with families, cemetery personnel, military funeral honors teams, funeral directors, veterans, volunteers, and community partners.

The successful candidate will demonstrate:

• Exceptional dependability, punctuality, and personal accountability.
• Strong organization, time management, communication, and attention to detail.

• Comfort coordinating and leading volunteers.
• Compassion, professionalism, and composure when working with grieving families.
