Final Project – Special Event Program (100 Points) We have explored the concept of leadership in recreation and leisure services throughout this semester. For VoiceThread #4, you created a special event program for your community. Special events could be a community food drive, family movie night at the rec center, outdoor field day, a 5K or 10K run, etc. For the final project, you are going to write up important aspects of planning, coordinating, and implementing your program. Chapter 10 discusses quite a bit about leadership techniques and Chapter 11 discusses risk management, both will be beneficial for this assignment. Some things to help get you started: What is the program? Why do you want to host this particular program? Where will you be hosting the program and why? What are the benefits to the community? What is the budget for the program? How much money do you need for personnel, equipment, supplies, facility or outdoor rental space, etc.? Will you have sponsors? What are some of the amenities that will be included in the program? Will you allow other vendors to be present? Will you be selling food/drinks? Will there be music involved? What are some concepts and strategies that we have discussed throughout this semester that will be important for you, as the leader of the program, to focus on to ensure the program and your team are successful?
