KDP Committees
All committees must work together to make KDP successful! Each event requires the work of several committees to communicate with each other and work as a team! Please join a committee you are interested in and will be dedicated to :)
Each committee will
have an executive board overseer to contact with questions and concerns. The
overseer will sit in on meetings and make sure the committee is
running smoothly and efficiently.
Each committee will also have two or three co-chairs who will be responsible for heading and organizing the work of the committee as well as communicating with the executive board overseer about the committee's progress.
Publicity
What's my
job?
Your job is to advertise! You must design posters and flyers, get them
approved, hang them, and tear them down at the appropriate time. In addition,
get the word out through the Signal and by hanging flyers at local businesses.
Another important aspect of the publicity committee is to design and
maintain the bulletin board in Forcina Hall.
Fundraising
What's my
job?
Your job is to raise money, through bake sales, tee-shirt sales, etc. You must
plan and organize fundraising events by securing table(s) in the student
center, contact people for help, and set-up/tear down events appropriately.
Membership
What's my
job?
Your job is year-round! Membership recruitment is an on-going process, meaning
you should set up table(s) in the student center to "sell" KDP to those who
either don't know about the organization or feel being nominated is enough. In
addition, you must send out membership invitiations, collect and sort
paperwork, and notify new members of their application status.
Induction Ceremony
What's my
job?
Your job is to plan the induction ceremony, including securing the location,
ordering flowers, making and printing programs, chair and table set-up and
tear down, etc.
Silent Auction
What's my
job?
Your job begins over the summer, collecting donations from businesses for the
silent auction. You must keep track of donations, send out thank-you cards to
businesses, and organize the auction.
