"Developing a Festival” - Plan Implementation

Once you have all your planning completed and your manpower in place, implementing your plan should be just as easy as painting a picture! The biggest challenge for the festival managers is to keep everyone focus on their tasks and not to get caught up in the overall challenges. The following is a detailed outline of the various tasks (by manager or section) that might need to be accomplished. This is a general outline that would need to be modified for individual festivals.

2.   Festival Chair

The Festival Chair is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the festival. It is his/her job to make sure the goals and objectives of the festival are met. This means overseeing the Board of Director and all Section Chairs. The Chair also manages the overall Critical Path and ensures that it is followed until completion of the festival. As Festival Chair, he/she chairs all Board of Directors meetings and is an ex-officio member of all committees. In the case of a tie vote, the Chair casts the deciding vote. 

3.   Finance Committee/Treasurer

The Treasurer is the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the festival. He/she is responsible for all financial matters pertaining to the festival. 

4.   Administration Committee/Secretary

The Secretary’s main function is to maintain all festival records. In addition, the secretary creates each Board meeting agenda and records the details of Board meetings.
