Brandon has been chosen to chair the skcharity run for his fraternity. At the time, Brandon thought it would look good on his resume and wouldn't be 100 difficult to pull off. This would be the first running event Omega Theta Pehad organized. In the past Delta Tau Chi always organized the spring running event. However, Delta Tau had been dissolved after a highly publicized hazing scandal Brandon and his brothers at Omega Theta Pl thought that organizing a SK-run would be a lot more fun and profitable than the normal spring cleaning service they offered the local community. Early on in the discussions, everyone agreed that partnering with a sorory would be an advantage. Not only would they help manage the event, but they would have useful contacts to recruit poncors and participants, Brandon pitched the fund raising idea to the sisters at Delta Nu, and they agreed to co manage the event, Olivia Pomerie volunteered and was named co-chair by Delta Nu. Brandon told Sierra about the task force's first meeting, which was held last night and included five members from each living sroup Olivia and Brandon tried, but failed to meet beforehand due to scheduling conflicts. The meeting began with the attendees introducing themselves and telling what experience they had had with running events only one person had not run at past events, but no one had been involved in managing an event other than volunteering as intersection flaggers Olivia then said she thought the first thing they should decide on was the theme of the 5K race, Brandon hadn't thought much Page 131 about this, but everyone agreed that the race had to have a theme. People began to suggest themes and ideas based on other runs they knew about. The group seemed stumped when Olivia said. "Do you know that the last Friday in March is a full moon? In India, Holl. the celebration of colors, occurs on the last full moon in March. Maybe you've seen pictures of this, but this is where people go crazy tossing dye and color water balloons at each other. I looked it up and the Holi festival signifies a victory of good over evil the arrival of spring and the end of winter. It is a day to meet others, play, laugh and forgive and forget. I think it would be neat if we organized our 5K run as a Holi festival. At different points in the race we would have people toss dye on runners. The run would end with a giant water balloon fight. We could even see if Evergreen (the local Indian restaurant) would cater the event!" Brandon and the other boys looked at each other, while the girls immediately supported the idea. The deal maker occurred when Olivia showed a YouTube video of a similar event last year at a university in Canada that had over 700 participants and raised over $14,000. Once the theme was decided the discussion turned into a free-foralt of ideas and suggestions. One member said she may know an artist who could create really neat T-shirts for the event. Others wondered where you get the dye and if it is safe. Another talked about the importance of a website and creating a digital account for registration. Others began to argue whether the run should be done on campus or through the streets of their small college town. One by one students excused themselves due to other commitments. With only a few members remaining Brandon and Olivia adjourned the meeting While Brandon took a sp of his IPA beer. Sierra pulled a book out of her knapsack, Sounds like what you need to do is create what my project management professor calls a WBS for your project." She pointed to a page in her project management textbook showing a 26 0% diram of WBS WS COLUMBUS STATE BMGT2250 Project Management Principles Assignment Two: Project Scope, Work Breakdown Structures & Communication Plan STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVES .
