Next up in the world of recruiting camps is to prepare the packing list and get my “staff” on board. Because this is also a new task assigned to me and there are new things needed to run the new testing. I was told I could utilize the Director of Membership and the Office Manager as my summer help to get things done.
My first task was to have a meeting with them to go over timelines. I wanted them to be aware of what was upcoming, what I would need them for, what was priority, and a schedule of when things needed to be completed. I am the only one of the three of us who has even gone through camp season before so this was definitely foreign to them.
I started to compile a packing list using old packing lists from events as well as some files I found on our former Director of Events computer. I felt it was best to start from scratch for this year because of all the changes and just a general update of wants and needs. For example, the old packing list would have listed a credit card machine and extra paper for it. We now use the Square technology and an iPad so those things would replace the former.
Because none of the lists were 100% complete I took inventory of our recruiting camp closet to see what we had used in the past. This will give me a baseline for later use in seeing what to order or buy whether it be because we have never needed it before or because things we have need replacing.
I have also this week helped to put in orders with our suppliers for general things like new nets, new machine balls, pitching machines, radar guns, ordered extra newspapers, had our Top Recruit magazine sent to the publisher, camp shirts, and ordered the new equipment necessary for the testing.
The packing list I created is below:
