coordinators

Those arranging logistics

Coordinators are words that join grammatical elements of equal rank—most commonly the conjunctions *and*, *but*, *or*, *nor*, *for*, *yet*, and *so*.

They connect words to words, phrases to phrases, or clauses to clauses: peanut butter and jelly, tired but happy, Should we stay or go?

In organizational contexts, coordinators are people who organize activities or manage logistics: The event coordinators handled everything.
