How to Create an Efficient Homecoming Committee

To ensure both the success of your event (and your sanity!) make sure you delegate tasks to committee members. Select your committee members carefully and then divide them into subcommittees, each with specific responsibilities. Remember, your Homecoming committee should be representative of the whole student body and big enough to handle all the various issues that arise. Depending on the size of your group, you then can create anywhere from five to ten subcommittees. Below are some tips!

How to Select Committee Members

Members can be selected in the following ways:

General volunteers
First 10-50 people who sign up with interest
Class officers
Have students vote on all of those with interest
Note: The more students involved, the better the event participation. Create a number of committees and sub-committees so everyone can take part in the planning!
