Getting Started - part 2 - checklists

The best way to get started with your event planning is to set up a checklist of committee members; their contact information; a list of jobs that need to be done and a list of what tasks have to be performed.

In the end, you could wind up making at least 3-4 checklists all together. I will show you an example of a couple of them for your quick reference later.

Checklist #1: Committee Members; this is just a sample, you may actually have more members and tasks than this, but this will give you the general idea.

Checklist #2: Task list

Task Member responsible Cost
Order supplies

Registrations

Speakers/presenters

Door prizes etc.

These checklists are only a sample of what you can do when making your checklists, but you get the idea.

When you have confirmed each of the items in your list as being confirmed finished, simply check it off.

A more advanced checklist will also include the general stages of each task such as inquiries/confirmed etc. These checklists will be your saviors later.
