    Planning and Management

    3. you will draft up an event proposal using the template you will be given(it includes things such as purpose, audience, set up, estimated budget, etc.)
      1. if the event proposal is approved then: create a google form so people can sign up for the events.
      2. we also have been planning a few in person events that you need to oversee with your team
    4. your team will consist of 2 event team members. under your management, they will help you search for organizations we can collaborate with, secure materials, secure a location, etc. you are in charge of setting appropriate deadlines for them. also ensure that they understand what their roles are during the day of the event(ex. who records participant attendance if the head of volunteer management can’t attend)

    Others

    1. reach out to the head of marketing operations to plan promotional content. or at least notify them about the details of the events( you will be given a template for events planning)
