RE: 502, WA5, Wiget

The purpose of EVOC 502 WA5 was to prepare a proposal for a public relations event in support of the course I teach in Substance Abuse Treatment and Recovery. The following six criteria were specified:

1.     Comply with all of the General Criteria for Written Assignments.

2.     Develop a plan a particular EVENT or ACTIVITY that will promote good public relations for a particular existing course or program and indicate why that event or activity is likely to have good public relations value.

3.     Format the plan as a proposal and address the proposal to a school administrator who would be in a position to approve and support it. Indicate why the event will be beneficial to the school.

4.     Provide an estimate of how much money the event will cost and related information about what type of support will be required (facilities, materials, staff time, etc.).

5.     Include a timeline that specifies information about WHAT needs to be done, WHEN it needs to be done and WHO will do it.

6.     List and briefly describe at least one good resource from which further information about planning public relations events can be obtained.

The following sources of information were used relative to this assignment:

1.     Wiget, David - From my own professional experience.

2.     Aboutpublicrelations.net

 

I believe that the attached proposal meets all six of above listed criteria and respectfully request full credit: one point for meeting each of the above listed criteria.

RE: Event Proposal for Substance Abuse Treatment and Recovery

EVENT DESCRIPTION

The students in the Substance Abuse Treatment and Recovery  course would like to present a half day of testimonies of their recovery and the improvements they have made in addition to the contributions made to the community at the Ontario Convention Center on Wednesday June 2, 2006. This will be an excellent opportunity for people in the local community to see actual proof that recovery does happen, crime is reduced, and on going support is needed.

SUPPORT REQUIRED

A bus will be needed to transport the students to and from the parole office to the convention center (total cost of $100). Two faculty members will need to be in attendance ($28/hr each for 4 hours minimum, as per union contract, for a total cost of $224).
