Contact the Leadership Alliance Executive Office to:

• Let us know what your plans are
• Get a list of alumni in your area (region)
• Get advice on how to plan and organize the event
• The Executive Office has a fixed budget of $500 that will help to offset any costs for hosting [food and beverages].

You are responsible for:

• Finding a location
• Sending out the invitation and collecting RSVP
• Negotiating with venue on pricing on food and beverage
• Publicizing your event on The Leadership Alliance [TLA] Connect Website
• Encouraging event attendees to sign up on TLA Connect

Tips on how to keep costs down:

• Find a venue that typically hosts after work events and offer discounted pricing for food and drinks.
• Your workplace may offer a common meeting space where you are allowed to bring in food. This would save on having to meet a minimum (dollars spent) with a restaurant or rental space fees.

After the event:

• Send the receipt or invoice directly to the Executive Office for payment
• Post photos of the event on the TLA Connect website. Please refrain from posting pictures with drinks in your hand.
• Send us a list of who was present at the event 
• Send everyone a thank you and include a reminder to sign up on the TLA Connect website
