I know in order for our Relay to succeed to the expectations of our division, our Relay needs to go to a 24 hour Relay.  However, herein lies the problem.

Some of us think we need to present the 24 hour Relay in a positive manner and tell everyone this is what we are going to do.  Someone else is telling us we need to get the approval of the whole committee or we can't do the 24 hour Relay.  Since I know a few on our committee will be totally against it, it will never  happen.

So, here is where I need help.  First, should we be getting the whole committees approval even though we will never meet the expectations of the division without doing it?  Second, what are some tips I can use to spin it in a positive manner to our Committee

Hey Michelle,

 Here is the Leadership Development Breakout Requests.  The pictures of the leaders of the last 25 years should be printed as posters, 2' x 3'.  The name plates that go underneath the pictures should be printed as follows:

Leaders Name

Leaders Position

Major Leadership Accomplishment

This information is attached as Word Document along with the Leadership Quotes that they want printed as 3' x 2' posters.

Michelle,

Attached are the Pictures that the Staff Breakout presenters would like enlarged based on the specified dimensions in the Master Spreadsheet.  The "Image" pictures are the flower pictures for an Icebreaker and should be 8.5" x 11", laminated.  The "Surveys" are for the walls and should be poster size, 2' x 3'.

Hey Everyone,

I am Candice and this is my first time being a Chair for the RFL. I have 98 days till the DAY!! We only have 38 participants online and I dont even have a full committee. I just took on this role a month ago bc the person who was supposed to be chair just kinda disappeared. I know this event is sooooo important to so many ppl and they look forward to this happening annually. Especially when some know they may not make it to the next one. I just want this to be a success but for some reason I am having a hard time lighting that fire under everyones butt. Any ideas to get everyone more involved? We had 65 teams last year and raised around $220,000 as a small town. So I would like to be at least that. Of course my goals are higher but at this rate I will be happy if we are just as good or close. Any advice? I am pretty much doing everything on my own. HELP. Also, Orgnaization and templetes will help. Pretty much wont turn down anything. Thank you so much for your time!!!

Just wondering if anyone has a template or something that they use for their Committee Roster.  I am charing a new event this year and getting all of the organizational pieces ready so in July/August we are ready to kick start Relay 2009!  

Thanks!

Nick Kissel

Hi!  My staff partner has come up with a great idea to have the current committee nominate committee members for certain positions.  Has anyone tried this in the past and how have you have found the best way to reach success is to do this?

I need an idea for gifts for my hardworking committee chairs. Any suggestions?
