POST-EVENT EVALUATION

Now that your event is over, you're done, right?

WRONG!

Effective programming does not end when the facility closes the night of your event. To wrap up the completion of your event, you may wish to consider...

• Completing a Program Evaluation Form (to put in your club's historical files for future use).
• Coordinating a final evaluation meeting for all interested parties (be sure to include all co-sponsors!).
• Reviewing any feedback surveys you distributed at the event.
• Following up with any dissatisfied members of the audience. (If someone, complained, seek their input and make a determination of how you can resolve the issue).
• Reviewing your event budget, and compare your actual expenses to your budgeted expenses.
• Sending thank you letters to:
  • Co-Sponsors
  • Entertainers
  • Special Guests
  • Offices/Staff which helped you coordinate your event
• Checking with the facility manager to ensure nothing was damaged/stolen.
• Following through to ensure everyone has received payment/reimbursement for their services.

Hopefully some of these ideas will get you thinking of ways you can provide closure to your successful events and activities!
