Project MASC Workshop
Topic: Project Planning
So often, people panic at the last minute because they missed something important along the way. They then need to scramble to pull it all together. Being thoughtful in planning can help alleviate these moments of panic and help your activities and events run so much smoother. This workshop will give you some ideas on how to help your council run a seamless event.
