Would you like to chair a project for the Jaycees? For all of our projects (things as simple as a Friday After work Club meeting, to something complex like Uptown Friday Nights ^TM) have a Chairperson's Planning Guide (or CPG) filled out and approved before the project happens.

A CPG is like a business plan for your event- it includes the who/what/why and how of putting on your event, as well as a budget and questions about ensuring safety of patrons at your event. Once it's filled out, it should be clear how the event will run and what is necessary to make the event a success.

Ready to tackle your first CPG?
