Some Planning Tips

So, we're all about planning, right?  On the whole, we've planned more events, parties, fundraisers, and basic day-to-day operations than we'd like to count.  Want some tips?

Understand what you are planning - putting together a good plan starts with an understanding of what you need to get done.  Make sure that you and those you are planning for are all on the same page - keep everyone in the loop as you work on your plan.

Set specific goals - are you raising funds for a high school volleyball team?  How much are you trying to raise?  How long do you have to raise it?

Get organized - obviously, we use PlanScripts to keep organized but putting out a timeline of what needs to be done, who needs to do it, and when it needs to be done by is critical for anyone planning anything.

Be flexible - things  may need to change as you work through your plan.  Adjust things that need adjusting and try not to sweat it.
