Overall Anniversary Strengths
- Clear leadership from Nuri who assumed role of chairperson less than two months before anniversary.
- Dedicated and hard-working committee.
- Excellent graphic design and print materials by Nuri who had dual role of graphics and committee leadership.
- Only two activities outside Sunday service.
- Activities, as set – Founder’s Day, Awards, Jazz on the Hill, Breakthrough Conference.
- Make awardees, speakers, performers, vendors top of the business in January 2018.
- Must have more volunteers in addition to the committee.
- Have sub-committees for each event, major activity.
- Assign someone to Dr. Barbara for all aspects of events, including desired transitions during Sunday service.
- Need seed money. Can possibly raise it if there is no profit for set aside.
- There should not be a major churchwide, ticketed event close to the anniversary ticketed events, particularly if there is not a “draw” (big name, popular person) for the anniversary.
- Develop comprehensive sponsorship program, handled by Board Finance Committee. Could be a packaging of all churchwide events for the entire year.
- Reach out of universities and colleges.
- Bookend awards ceremony and Jazz on the Hill (JOTH).
- Send mailers within the ½ mile radius. Use that mailing list.
- Include wrap-up/debriefing dinner in budget.
- Put out a call for volunteers and push it.
- Reward volunteers in some way. They are expected to pay for event as support for Hillside even if they volunteer. However, they go a step beyond and often do not get a chance to take part in the event.
