Observation of Cabinet Meeting for a Craft Show I went to observe a meeting of an organization. This is an organization of select craftsmen who try and get there handcrafted wares to the public. The purpose of the meeting is to plan and organize craft shows and how they are going to get the people to come to the shows. The main topics of the meeting was craft shows and different items the members were going to try and sell to the public. The organization meets once a month to discuss any new business. This month the meeting was held on November second at six-thirty in. There were four members on the cabinet who get together to plan and schedule the meetings. They asked me not to reveal any of their names. The four members of the cabinet are the president, vice president, secretary, and the treasurer. The secretary was the newest member of the cabinet. The meeting that I observed was the first meeting that the secretary was able to fulfill her duties. There were also three other new members in the group that decided to join the organization. In order to be in the organization, all the regular members have to do is pay a membership fee but the cabinet members must be elected by the other cabinet members and by the other members of the group. When all of the members arrived at the meeting, the president asked the older members to stay outside and all of the new members to come in and sit down. The president passed out little booklets. She gave one to me. It was the agenda of what the group was going to discuss at the meeting. After she passed out the agenda the president explained all of the rules and regulations the members are ask... ... middle of paper ... ...ryone in the group like the original location. So the treasurer looked to see if the organization would have enough money to cover the rest of the cost. All of the members voted on the original location and that one won. In my opinion, there are not many improvements that I would suggest to the organization. I would just try to get the vice-president to participate more within the group. I think the president should talk to the vice-president to see if the president could do anything to help. The meeting was very formal meeting, but the members were scattered all over the room. If a member had something to say to one of the cabinet members, it was very hard to hear them. I would suggest that they would get into a group around the cabinet members, that way everyone would be able to hear what they were trying to say.

Workplace meetings have become as common an occurrence in daily business activity as punching in on a time clock. "Done right, meetings are one of the most powerful communication tools." (Thibodeau, 2005, para. 1). As beneficial as productive meetings can be to business organizations, ineffective meetings can have an equally detrimental effect. Regardless of how boring or pointless they may seem, not even modern technology is a substitute for personal interfacing. Maxwell (2004) states the importance of in-person communication:

I enjoyed reading your post and the intricacies of the railroad business. It’s interesting seeing the real world application of your financial intelligence in understanding your business’s circumstance during that time. During that period, in order to combat the increase in operating expense, was there a large change in price for the services your company offers? Additionally, that’s an interesting way that your company chooses to share its monthly reports. Coincidentally, that is the same way LeTourenau University Senate operates. There are instances where students do not elect a senator to represent them. When that is the case, a number of the Committee Chairs host an “unrepresented floor meeting”. At these meeting, Student senate shares
Through a blog, I will document the process of the setup and the continuing events of my project. Each week, a handful of lucky students will also have the chance to have their art documented and promoted. Through various forms of social media, including Facebook, Google+, and YouTube, I will display links to my sites, and addresses to events. I will also upload videos and commercials of and for the ERF. Bi-monthly I will help my students set up and perform talent shows in the community. These talent shows will supply exposure to the project, and also allow the young artists from the community the chance to show off their talents and the opportunity to sign up in the foundation as well. Four times a year, fundraisers will be held where a group of my best students will perform or show off their talents or masterpieces to the community eye. All these events will hopefully provide exposure and the boost needed to the ERF to grow and expand in the community and maybe even
The Dahlonega City Hall was crowded on the evening of March 1st 2010. The seats were full, except for at the very front, and the standing room was filled almost out the door. The crowd, mostly made up of students, leaned in to hear as the voices of the City Council members faded in and out of the faltering sound system. The six City Council members and the mayor sat along a bench as if they were the judges at a hearing. Because of the ongoing discussions and the crowd, I thought I had arrived a few minutes late; but I was able to find a seat in the front two rows. Despite how packed the small room was there were plenty of empty seats in the front. I had thought the meeting was well on its way by the way conversation was going and apparently I was not the only one who shared this feeling. After a solid forty-five minutes of talking about parking laws and if there was a parking problem in the city, the mayor stood up and thanked everyone for coming. Most people took this as a sign that the meeting was over and started to pack up and leave. However this was just the meetings call to order. Following a prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance the City Council meeting began.
Nowadays, it is not rare to see farmers markets scatter all over the country especially during the summer. As people begin to gain more knowledge about healthy eating, more farmers begin to set up tents and tables to sell their produce. No matter how cold it is or how busy people are, the markets are always packed with people. The large number of people going there might cause others to questions many things. How did these people know when and where these markets are opening? The answer to this question is short and simple: a blog or a website. Back then farmer markets are not well known within the community due to the lack of advertisement and interest. However, since technology has become more advanced, vendors take advantage of it and utilize it to their fullest. One of the most well-known farmers markets in the state of Washington is the Ballard famers market. This particular farmers market takes advantage of social media. They keep their customers inform of what is happening as well as introducing the market to their potential customers. In order to successfully convince people to come to the market, the bloggers must employ many techniques. Within this blog alone, the creators used pictures, colorful and creative designs, sidebar tabs, and rhetorical appeals such as logos and pathos to tell their targeted audience which is a diverse group of people that this market is a perfect place to be at when the sun is out, and a perfect place to be at if they want good foods.
You have decided on a location, and now it is time to make a list of the people who will be attending. Make a list of everyone you want to attend and do not forget their family members who may come with them. You may want to allow everyone to bring a friend if they are single, or you suspect they will come alone. Fill out your invitations and get them in the mail at least two weeks before your event. Now you are ready to get down to the details of the part...
From the beginning, where we were unfamiliar with each other and became a team, my team and I had started to learn each other name and getting to know each other. Throughout each meeting, we slowly start to feel more comfortable and open minded with each other. Not only are we getting familiar with each other, each meeting that was held we progress of becoming an effective team member, we learn our strengths and weaknesses of everyone. During the meetings, we learn many concepts from the textbook, “Communicating in Small Groups: Principles and Practices” by Steven A. Beebe and John T. Masterson. We were able to learn different types of concept in the textbook and utilized it as a team to complete certain tasks. The three concepts that impacted my team and I are human
