Where do I Fit In?
The last couple of weeks I have been really working to stay focused on the tasks assigned to me for the upcoming Women and Careers Conference. I have not connected with the Women's Resource Center before this service learning project and I am still unclear exactly what the WRC is all about. I am working on the Conference which is an annual event of the WRC but I feel like the mission is not being presented clearly. I am working on donations, yet I feel that this is all being done WAY TOO LATE! I am not sure why it has fallen to the last few weeks to get cracking on this, but I just have to see if I can get donations of door prizes in this extremely short amount of time ( two weeks). I just got the flyers on Friday and the go ahead to speak/connect with 5 different organizations to solicit for donations. The event is on March 16 and does promise to be a great way for women to discover/learn from the successes of the key speakers. We are not meeting as a group again until March 9 which is only one week before the event. Hope I can meet with on-campus groups and get the message out. This is the 14th Annual Women and Careers Conference and it is the first time as a student I have heard of it. I hope that the publicity gets out there. I want this to be a successful event and feel that I contributed to that effort. Leadership could be tweaked a bit to make this all run smoother for the student volunteers. I'm hoping it all comes together.

That sounds very stressful. Fundraising stuff needs to be done months ahead of time. It might be a problem with an office staff in transition.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Dr. Dabel. That does sound stressful. You know, if you need help with not-for-profit management issues, I may be of assistance for future events. This was my area for about fifteen years & I'd be happy to lend a hand.
