Event Working Group

Charge: This working group will make recommendations to implement a centralized, efficient and client-centric approach to event planning and management. The group will utilize existing data and research to recommend policies and procedures regarding scheduling, space usage, internal re-charges, external sales, contracts, service agreements, event sponsorship, calendar and event software. Building on the Hill Group’s Planning and Processing Improvement report, this group will recommend opportunities for event staff realignment and collaboration to better serve internal and external clients and maximize impact on the University’s mission.

Timeframe: The working group will make its recommendations by March 19, 2021
