PROPOSAL REPORT

MIXER

Your Proposal Report should address all these areas:

fundraising budget scheduling logistics theme organization

resources planning process accomodations proposed dates key speakers why your school should be selected

Despite needing to address all of the above in your proposal, the host team is not responsible for all of the above. Since the Mixer Competition is an ACERT sanctioned event, the components of the Mixer Comp are organized by a joint committee of host team members and ACERT staff or Board members. The general breakdown of component responsibility is therefore approximately:

HOST TEAM:	ACERT:	COMMON:
billeting room bookings food arrangements social events competition logistics volunteers needed overall event logistics	funding/budget and approvals competition guidelines CERT cert. registration (on-line) event promotion awards	sponsorship seminars/presentation setup and speakers keynote speaker on-site registration competition design

If you have any questions about addressing these items please e-mail us at info@acert.ca.
