Communication and Organization

Right now Margie and I are working on a business class bachelor and bachelorette fund raising auction. It is really our event to roll with however Margie and I will be leaving on Friday. Next week another intern, Nicole, starts and she will take over for us while we are at school. Throughout the last week we have kept in contact with Nicole through email and phone calls so that there is no gap when we leave and she comes. Nicole even came in to meet with us on Friday so she could see everything we had done and even help us out with fixing what we had done as well as ideas on how to move forward.

Meeting with Nicole was a good thing for all three of us. We got to go over everything we have done and make that perfect so we can all agree, and work on some new things all together while she was in the office. After Margie and I leave we will still be involved with the event, we are just switching roles. Nicole will be here in the office and keeping in contact with us to get our input. We will all meet together again at the event to make sure it all runs smoothly.

Planning an event like this can be tricky but everything will work out great as long as we can communicate with each other well and often. I know I will still want to be very involved in every aspect of the event while I am at school, just as Nicole wants to be a part of it now. With us leaving Nicole needs to know everything that we have worked on so far so we need to tell her when we make new decisions or do something new, as well as keep everything in the office about the event organized and safe and easy for Nicole to pick up when she arrives.

Margie and I were so excited when we got this event and were very happy that we were going to get to continue with it. We will work as much as we can on this auction before we leave, and get to see it through which is a great learning experience and we all get to see and learn the importance of communication in all businesses. Even just this morning we had a meeting with Brian to let him know everything that we did for the last week while he was gone. He told us just how important it was to keep everything we had organized and clear so he or anyone else could find what they needed.

Communication and Organization are some of the most important things when planning and event with a team. You may understand where something is and what was going on in you head, but anyone else is not going to know where anything is and what you have done so far so they don't need to do it.
