Setting a Purpose and Objective
The first step to any good event or project is always having a clear sense of purpose. That purpose then needs to be channeled into a measurable objective so you can know for sure whether or not you were successful.
When you are deciding on the purpose of this event have your club mission close by. If you can’t connect it back honestly and directly to your mission you shouldn’t do it.
