Don’t Reinvent the Wheel

I want to encourage you to save all of your planning materials from year to year.  Keep your notes, charts, schedules and all other planning materials.   You will be surprised how often you can reuse these by making a few changes.  For instance, as you begin planning a new event, pull up your previous planning calendar on your computer and update it for your current event, and then rename the file.  This way you don’t  have to reinvent the wheel every time you plan a women’s event.  Keeping notes about what “worked” and what “didn’t work” is also a great idea.  Having a debriefing meeting as soon as possible after your event will help you remember to write down some of these “hits” and “misses” so that you can be constantly fine-tuning and improving your event.
