How To Plan Leadership Retreats Hawaii

By Dorothy Wood


Organization of a retreat is a very overwhelming process. It will need a lot of work and dedication for it to be a success. With a careful plan and the help of others, this hectic process can still be possible, and it will have fewer hiccups. A lot of factors will contribute to organizing the Leadership Retreats Hawaii.

You first must know what type of event and the reason why the event is being held. It could be a wedding event, a school event or a church event. The reasons could be to preach, educate, advise or to celebrate. This will form the basis of how you plan to organize the event and have a theme for this retreat. You will get to know what equipment to have or entertainment that will plan.

Get to know when the event is scheduled and plan as from the date. With the period you have, divide activities you have and set deadlines for them to take place. Start planning early so as not to have last minute rush and have room for correcting mistakes and evaluating the planning. Make all the necessary booking too, such as the venue.

Have a budget for the activity. Ensure you collect all the money needed either from donors or the people having the retreat early in advance. Work with the money you possess. Cut out all unnecessary expenses and try reducing costs. For example, you can buy in bulk as it is cheap and transport money will be reduced. You can buy cheap items also. Moreover, have receipts for all expenditure to account for them at the end.

Organize yourself knowing the amount of time you have to plan the retreat. Prepare a draft of all the activities you have to do. Have deadlines for each of these. Ensure you follow all this to the latter. Ensure you have all the contact information of everyone you may need to contact, all the things you need to purchase, decorations, food, entertainment and all the people involved in other details.

You have to find out the number of guests you expect so that you get a clue on the size of the venue, the amount of food you need among other things. You also have to know what type of people they are and their ages. The occasion should meet their needs and make sure they are comfortable. The activities they will undertake should be appropriate for their age.

Market or publicize the retreat using invitation cards, social media or the media in general. Start doing this early in advance to allow for booking, buying tickets or preparing them. You should continue reminding them. The event is never complete without guests.

Now you can take a breather and review the planning outcome. Use your earlier prepared draft to see if you have everything needed. Have time for evaluation to correct any mistakes. Let your team mates help you in this and have notes of mistakes to avoid making them again in future.
