Assignment 1: Understanding Roles and Skills
Due Week 3 and worth 125 points.
“Get your talent in the right place on your team, so they can make the team successful.”
- Coach Gibbs
Introduction You are in charge of putting together a fundraising event for an organization that you are passionate about. It could be for a charity, church, school, or any other cause you support. Feel free to be creative! Your fundraising event will include a dinner, performers (artists and/or speakers), and a request for donations to support your chosen organization.
For this assignment, you’ll pick the organization you’re planning the event for. As the team leader, you’ll be in charge of the planning committee -- a team of 4 people and yourself. You’ll determine what role each team member will play on the committee, choose the tasks they will be assigned, and identify the skills they’ll need to complete them. We’ll guide you through it step by step!
