Stepping up to responsibilities!


Hi Everyone!

So everything has been going really well at my internship, I am getting the hang of it all now which makes it much more enjoyable! My manager has given me the task of organising a launch night/gala event for the One Day of Positivity Campaign. The venue has been organised (The Duxton Hotel) so now I have the task of inviting people, writing up press releases and trying to get some excitement building around the event and of course the campaign!

One thing I have certainly noticed since starting my internship is that its hard to get a social campaign off the ground, especially in it’s first year and with next to no funding. Luckily we have managed to get some amazing ambassadors on board and inviting influential business people and the media hasn’t been as hard as I once thought it might be!
The event is really starting to come together, we have organised two keynote speakers, the first being Tracey Hodgkins who is a social entrepreneur and the winner of numerous business awards. The second speaker is Phil Britten who is a survivor from the Bali Bombings in 2002.

The night will also have three awards being given out – Positive role model of the year, young positive role model of the year and the positive council of the year. Nominations for these awards have started coming in and we have sourced an external judge for the awards.

It has certainly been busy! There is also a family event that I haven’t personally been involved in organising but I will be attending the event so I will update you all with how that goes!

Until Next Time!
