drakeyardfestRather it is a welcome back to campus party, a day of community service, or a seminar aimed at getting college students prepared for the real world, a group of people are behind preparing the event and the next one could be your organization. The key to success in putting together any successful event is remembering your P’s. Here’s 5 P’s that will produce a very prosperous event on campus, you can see them below.

3Be prompt.

To be prompt is the difference from starting on time to an event beginning in chaos.  Events should not be evaluated with leaders under stress. The day of an event should be smooth and have everyone in position. When you move promptly in making sure every task is completed, everyone is in order, and everyone is aware of what they are supposed to do, then everything works out.

One person messing up a task can throw a whole event off track. For example a person is assigned to make sure the doors are unlocked at 3:30 p.m. and set up for the event begins at 4:00 p.m. The doors are unlocked at 4:30 p.m. because the person is late. That throws set up off and the event doesn’t start on time. Everyone must move promptly for the event to run smoothly.
