Communication Plan
Communication during this project will primarily be over the phone or face to face. My
client is not a fan of emailing, therefore any email that is to take place will be done over
minimal topics and printed out for recording purposes. My client is always readily
available to answer any questions or concerns that arise, while create meeting times
throughout their day to fit my needs. A focus group will take place throughout the
planning stages in order to ensure maximum success for this event.
Quality Assurance
The quality of the project will be assured through the review and steps leading up to the
event. This will be done by evaluating the responses we get from the various surveys
(polls and feedback cards) as well as running all ideas by the head of directors, Margo
Hansen. The director is aware of the level of professionalism that is needed to run any
program represented through the organizations name. For this, all activities and plans
will never be less than extraordinary. All activities following Saturday at the Arboretum
are ensured to represent all the organization stands for and wishes the community to
participate in.
Resource Planning
All information and items gathered prior to this event will be done through scholarly
websites and local stores or recyclable materials from participants own homes. Because
this is a hands- learning experience, all information lectured will be as accurate as
possible and can be found on the reference page of all handouts. Materials will be paid
