Forming a kickass planning committee
In order to form a kickass planning committee, you have to identify the ones that will support you and your cause. You may be asking yourself, " How do I do this?"
For your very first event, make your friends join. Then force those friends to invite their friends, and hopefully, those friends will invite their friends. Host the event. See how it goes. Then ask yourself these questions.
- Who's left after most of the crowd has left?
- Who put their entire self into this event?
- Who couldn't help it but to assist you in organizing this event?
The people that you pick out as you go through this list are the ones. The ones you need to make it all happen.
Other aspects to keep in mind:
- Make sure to have individuals from different disciplines
- Need both the ones who are organized and the ones who are passionate
- Give people roles in what they like to do so they'll have the motivation to do it

Now that you have your kickass planning committee, how can you get the word out about your events? Of course, there's the obvious ways: posters, facebook events, emails. But how can you step it up a notch? Here's your answers.
- Meet and involve the person in charge of communications at your university in your organization.This person can get your name and organization out there in your university so that others can see your cause and maybe even join.
- Place enough posters in the right place, and that could make all the difference in the turnout of your event. Place the posters where people will have time to read them, like elevators or hallways by classrooms, and avoid places where they will get lost or looked over.
- When trying to hook people in to your cause or organization, present it as an advantage to them. Try to sell your organization or event. You're giving them an advantage whether that'd be extra credit for a certain class, a resume builder, or even food. We all love food!
- Use tangible advertisements. Do NOT just write out long paragraphs on facbook or in an email. People won't read them. Make your advertisements easy to read and to the point.
