Vision and Goals
Vision
¶¡ÏãÔ°AV’s On-campus Professional Events Network (OPEN) helps members of the university community responsible for events to create and execute memorable engaging guest-centered events that achieve the department or faculty’s strategic objectives and align with the university’s vision.
Goals
The On-campus Professional Events Network (OPEN) supports event planners across all three campuses to produce events that showcase ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV as a leading engaged university defined by its dynamic integration of innovative education, cutting-edge research and far-reaching community engagement.
To accomplish this, OPEN will facilitate:
- The sharing of knowledge and resources:
- Best practices, systems, trends, internal and external contacts
- Ongoing education (via virtual and in-person gatherings and workshops)
- On-line resources (i.e. templates, timelines, venue research, etc.)
- Alignment with university objectives, priorities, event protocols and communications and branding
- Clarification of internal and institutional processes
- The creation of an on-campus event planning community in order to:
- Be inspired and motivated by your colleagues’ innovative work and to collaborate with your colleagues where appropriate
- Meet event professionals from across the campus to share your passion and excellence in event planning
- Grow and evolve as you collaborate and share with your colleagues
