Dear Friends and Colleagues:
I invite you to join me on a journey into the world of special events. When I am not planning events, I am writing — or contemplating what to write — so I thought why not create a vehicle that anyone can have access to?
I am so excited to share my experiences with you in this medium. If you have ever been curious to learn what special events planners really do for a living, you have come to the right place. I often hear “oh, you plan parties?” “That’s not a real job”.
If your background happens to be in the event planning world, I know that you will agree that what our guests see is one important part of a very big picture. Planning events, particularly fundraising events, is extremely demanding and quite painstaking.
As with every profession there are days when I feel as if I am sitting on top of the world. However, that feeling comes at the end of the process, not during the planning and execution stages. Throughout my 20+ years in this business, I have come to regard my profession as one of the most comprehensive executive training programs I have ever participated in.
Interesting in learning more about the event strategies required for success? If the answer is yes, I invite you to join me for an overview of what to expect. I will also share candid anecdotes so that novices and seasoned professionals can take comfort in knowing that someone out there really does get it, knows what really goes on behind the scenes and appreciates the sacrifices that are made. It is not all glitz and glam. But, as we all know, a true investment cannot be measured with a paycheck. However once the feeling of exhaustion has waned — and if everything went as planned — the memories you are left with are priceless.
I look forward to sharing my updates with you.
With kind regards,
Monique
