SUMMARY:Annual Chamber Event Review - 2014
DESCRIPTION:As 2014 winds down we are pleased look back at the many events the River Country Chamber of Commerce of Newaygo County has held over the last 12 months\; 18 major events\, 10 monthly Board Meetings and 3 quarterly General Membership Meetings\; Let me first say "THANK YOU!" for all that you have helped us accomplish this year.\n\n \n\nSuccessful events cannot happen without the time\, hard work and support of our Board Members\, members\, sponsors and many volunteers.  It is in that spirit that your Board of Directors has adopted a policy for determining the best course of action for annually reviewing events for the year to come. The following is the best practices policy for reviewing events:\n\n\n\nAll events will be reviewed at the October Board Meeting of the River Country Chamber of Commerce of Newaygo County  (events covering October through September of prior year) to determine if an event was a success* and if the event should be held again in the coming year.  \n\n\n\n*Success is determined by the following:  River Country Chamber of Commerce of Newaygo County events will be deemed successful when they enjoy membership and community support and involvement\, make a positive impact on our community and the relative monetary & human investments are balanced against the event's impact. \n\n\n\nIn keeping with this policy we would like to invite you to our Annual Event Review Meeting to be held at Loomis Lodge on Tuesday\, September 23\, 2014 from 8:00 am - 11:00 am.  This meeting is open to all members\, community partners and volunteers who are interested in being a part of the 2015 event planning process.  During this meeting we will discuss past events\, the success/failure of these events and determine if there is support to continue the event for 2015.  At the end of the meeting we look forward to being able to present the 2015 Calendar of Events for the River Country Chamber of Commerce of Newaygo County (which includes a Committee Chair for each event) to the Board of Directors for approval at the October 14th Board Meeting.  \n\n\n\nI have included attachments that might be helpful during our review process and will have these available at the meeting.  Also\, when registering please sure to comment on which events you are interested in.  \n\n\n\nLooking forward to your continued support in 2015.\n\n\n\nSincerely\, \n\n\n\nColleen Lynema                     Del Hirdes\n\nExecutive Director                  Event Committee Chair\n\n\n\nEVENT REVIEW QUESTIONAIR \n\n2015 CALENDAR\n\nGENERIC EVENT TIME LINE\n\nEVENT COMMITTEE EXAMPLE 1\n\nEVENT COMMITTEE EXAMPLE 2\n\nBUDGET EXAMPLE
