National Events Management Class At The Maricopa County Human Services Campus

For example if you work in the Labor and Delivery Department, you get forms from the volunteer office to the actual labor and delivery halls where the mothers are with their newborns. There forms are filled with the name of the mother’s way of delivery her baby’s gender and date of delivery. Sometimes the in different departments the volunteers are asked to do different things. The volunteers sometimes may not be doing their work. Many volunteers “help improve the reputation of volunteers worldwide by doing what you say you'll do, whether it's honoring the volunteer role and schedule you'd agreed to, providing ample notice if you're unable to perform your tasks or responsibilities, saying no or stepping away from volunteering when necessary, or simply serving as a good representative of the organization in the community” (A Volunteer's Bill of Rights and Responsibilities). This is evidence that when the volunteers are getting away with things that shouldn’t be doing, are forgetting why there are spending their time at the hospital and why they shouldn’t be given more to do. They already make a difference in patient’s lives and of asked to do more the volunteers may slack

I learned many things from my experience while volunteering at the Fox Valley Humane Association. One of those is how much my time really does matter. While completing tasks like laundry, dishes, greeter, and collecting donations out at the mall I realized how much one person can contribute. By helping out with these tasks I prevented the staff from doing it. If volunteers weren’t present someone would still need to do the work which would have been taking away from staff duties. The staff has other duties to tend to such as tending sick animals, preforming spaying and neutering, declawing, and working at the desk. These are important to the animal’s health and if the staff were always busy completing tasks volunteers do there wouldn’t be time to tend

All staff that were attending were given a list with the names of the group of children for which they would be responsible. It was made sure that there were no more than 6 children in each group. My group was a group of 6 from the Reception class.

At our first meeting, I distributed calendars for the upcoming year and asked them to set personal goals to be incorporated into our goals as a team, allowing each officer to focus on their strengths. For example, the vice president decided to focus on maintaining our website, and the secretary helped me implement a point system to keep track of member activity. Despite this success, I later ran into trouble due to my personal failure to be assertive; I allowed the former president to sign the team up for future competitions without voicing my concerns to further involve our sponsor. Fortunately, I was able fix this mistake by taking responsibility for my mistake and organizing parent volunteers to ease our sponsor’s responsibilities throughout the year. This was a stressful situation, but I did learn the importance of admitting when I am wrong and was inspired to be more assertive, remaining undaunted by the pressures of

For starters, George had control over the scheduling of employees, the way the workers dressed, the payment, and the procedure of selling peanuts. Even if George did not explicitly use this right (like with the scheduling system used) he still had the right to use that control (when he scheduled people to work games they did not sign up for. There is no formal training for the employees. However, the worksheet and discussions with George if a particular vendor is struggling can be seen as a form of training for employees in order to up their sales. This leads into another factor with how the worker’s services tied into the business. The Vending Company’s business is to be a food and drink vendor for all of the BeanBalls’ baseball games. Kary along with the other employees played an integral part of the Vending Company’s business since they were the people actually selling the products at the game. Kary personally provided the services to the Vending Company, there was no person hired by Kary as a third party to do her job. The fact that Kary was paid by the hour and not by the game is indicative of a continuing relationship between The Vending Company and Kary. George had set work hours for his employees, since they could only work during the games plus the additional hour before that is required to get all of the equipment and peanuts ready to sell. There was a specific procedure to how the employees were supposed to go about their work for that day. The employees will first show up and pick up their carrier. From that point, the employee will go and scoop/bag the peanuts they are going to sell. At the end of the game there is a final tally of how many bags were sold, and whoever sold the most would receive a 20-dollar bonus. The employees must wear uniforms, though they can embellish it as they please, and they must wear black shoes. George

As Wheelan (2013) explains, it is the team leader’s responsibility during stage one to establish defined goals and to identify specific team member roles and how they will contribute to the overall plan. This error on my part led to confusion, frustration, and unfortunately the departure of some of the youth volunteers, as they did not feel that the value of their input was considered nor was a clear picture of what our purpose was explained.

I am fulfilling my 60-hour practicum at Miracle Hill Administrative Offices. As Thanksgiving is quickly approaching, Miracle Hill is planning for their Great Possible Turkey Fry. I have attended event planning meetings to gain insight on the process and planning that goes into the Turkey Fry. The Turkey Fry is contingent on donations and volunteer involvement. During event planning, Miracle Hill is currently switching to a new volunteer management system, “Community Connect”. I have been given the responsibility of overseeing this new system, through training and management title. Responsibilities of this new system and the Turkey Fry includes contacting volunteers by phone and email, giving directions on how to use the system, and answering

The volunteers and the interns are two separate programs. Even though the intern program has both paid and volunteers our job responsibilities are different from those in the volunteer program. For Example interns are task with traffic control and clerical work. Individuals in the volunteer program actually go out and patrol. Usually, when intern is allowed to go out on to the field it to check storm drains to make sure they are working and no one has vandalized the storm drains. Other than that we have to be accompanied by a police officer. Interns are also in charge of giving station tours and cleaning the station. Currently, I am the only non-paid intern and the other three are paid. The department’s non-paid interns are seasonal and the paid-interns are there year round, but still only work part time. Interns that are paid wear a baby blue uniform top with PVEPD patches, badge that say community service officer, and navy blue pants. Volunteers wear a white uniform top with PVEPD patches and navy blue pants. Non-paid interns wear business attire since we are only with department for short period of time. Although interns and volunteers have the same radio call sign, which is 7victor and a number. For example one interns radio call sign is 7victor12 and one volunteers call sign is 7victor13. If an intern wants to do

Therefore, if I were a leader of an interprofessional healthcare team, I would decide to choose volunteers that were dedicated to this improvement project. After two weeks on the job, if I noticed my volunteers started to make excuses for not having completed their assigned tasks and failing to return my

In the very beginning of the project, I planned to work with Kinzy but ended up combining our group with that of Noah and Nathan’s in the hopes that we would work well together as a group. This did not result as well as hoped, though we got the work done and I was given the chance to act as a peacemaker. As the project launched into action, we first had to decide upon an idea to sell, to which I suggested a few ideas, none of which were chosen. Each member of the group contributed to choosing the right idea for us to push into our target audience. From this point, I began to organize the beginning’s of our project, such as the lab for our scientific portion. Throughout the next week, however, conflicts within my personal life impacted and limited my ability to assist much in the creation and pushing of advertisements. My biggest contribution here was co-writing-and-performing an advertisement over the morning announcements. I then worked to help organize all the tasks we had yet to complete; it was decided that Kinzy and I would be writing the English essay and reviewing the Science Lab, the Byrd’s vice-versa.

My time spent at Community Harvest included a Thursday and a Friday where my first day spent there included packing bags full of food for senior citizens who would come to pick up their groceries throughout the day. Furthermore, each bag contained the same groceries which made this task fairly simple in comparison to my second day there. One my second day, I assisted those who were shopping for their groceries. Furthermore, I filled out forms which indicated how many pounds of food each person could take. My role was to keep track of 7-10 different shoppers at times while instructing them to what items they could take and how many pounds of those items. Senior citizens as well as those who are in an unfortunate situation benefitted from my actions due to the fact that I filled their bags with groceries and helped instruct people on what groceries they were allowed to

Anyone who has ever put on so much as small birthday party understands how much planning even the smallest get together can be. Think back to a time that you planned something. There were questioned that had to be answered; How many people are coming, will there be food, if so what kind? Now imagine planning a party for 7,000 people, throw alcohol in the mix, and the affect that country music has on people and you got yourself a music festival. Trying to plan everything out all by myself, which was essentially what I was planning on doing when I started my project, seemed extremely daunting once I actually started doing it. I’ve learned two things throughout my project so far; team work is the key to success and that for big things to happen you might have to think small.

Then after much practice came for the competition, came the actual day of the competition. The day all the hard work and sweat would come to play. The first day progressed smooth with not much trouble, but once the second day came, the effect of being told what to do came to play. When I changed the time to arrive at school, to a later time, some of the students took this negatively. The purpose of this was to give the students more time to sleep because of the competition ending late. Rather than being grateful for more sleep-time, some students said, “Why is student council dictating what we do? We should have a say in this?” When leading a group of students, it is impossible to please every single student, but nonetheless, this was a learning experience. Rather than ignoring this student’s concern, I took it into account and discussed any time changes with the students before officially changing them. Then, finally came the last day, the most challenging. This was the awards ceremony day. More than one thousand people filled the hall, and sitting in the first row is what every school wants. To accomplish this, I consulted the students and inquired them, “What is the best time to arrive at the venue to obtain the best seats?” Once agreeing on the time, I thought this was my last worry, but this was not the case. On the third day, with arriving

Project management has always been an important branch of management. It involves gathering different resources with using a scientific approach of management to build all types of projects, starting from infrastructure facilities and buildings, to IT projects, or even to prepare and manage special events. As far as special events are concerned, Music Festivals usually require precise planning and organising for many reasons. The huge number of guests associated with such events, and the different types of resources needed to complete the project are all crucial elements, and will make planning for the Music Festival such a challenging task for the project manager, especially if it lasts for few days. The lack of accommodation, the hilly nature of the ground, and unexpected changes in weather are all problems facing the project manager that need to be addressed appropriately. This essay will discuss the resourcing plan, risk management plan, and leadership and management plan for the Music Festival. it will also discuss the reasons behind choosing the predictive approach among other available options in implementing project life cycles.

The career that I have chosen is an event planner at hotels because I think that this job is good for me. Even though the responsibilities, requirements, paying and benefits may be very hard work, but can also be fun if the person has the right skills for this kind of job. First, I need the right education, experiences, and skills for me to be able to work as a coordinator. Then I would need to find a location as to where I would like to work and will the environment will be good for success. Lastly, if this job does not work out for me, then I will go to another career wouold be classroom aid.
