You have volunteered to organize a fundraiser for your child's school sports team to purchase new uniforms. For your event to be successful, you are responsible for all aspects of its management: staffing, planning, organizing, controlling, and leading. The general information known includes:
- You have a team of 15 volunteers to assist
- $1,600.00 is the cost to purchase the uniforms
- A local fire department has offered its picnic grove for use for free
- Many local businesses (restaurants, bars, retail stores, etc.) have committed to donating goods or services to your event
The School Board has requested you submit a formal proposal detailing each of these aspects and how you will manage/lead the process to completion before they approve the event.
Directions
You will evaluate and make decisions for one or more of the functions of management for this event. Incorporating class concepts, research, and the provided general information, you will develop a section of the proposal for the School Board.
As you put the proposal together, each section should be titled with the specific function of management presented. Use the template provided in Blackboard for each submission.
A. Controlling
The next function of management you will be handling is controlling. Now that you have designed the way you will run the event and how each facet will be handled, you need to decide what you want to control/monitor, and how you will do so. For the first proposal section, describe how you will control each of these operational functions:
- Staff
- Inventory (donations)
- Revenue
B. Leading
The final function of management you will carry out, and one of the most important for the overall success of the event, is leading. In this proposal section, describe in detail how you will lead/manage your team to a successful event outcome.
