ACTION AND EVENT REQUESTS
If you'd like to propose action on an issue, email incoregon@gmail.com for details on proposing action items. If your request includes co-sponsorship of an event, please include the following information:
- Who is the main sponsor? Are their other co-sponsors? Who are the speakers and what are their qualifications on the topic? What is the format of the program? What is the program description?
- Why do you want INCO to be a co-sponsor?
- What exactly do you want from INCO as a co-sponsor?
- Might there be more appropriate co-sponsors?
- In what ways might INCO be of help without co-sponsoring? For instance, INCO might spread information among our membership without actually co-sponsoring.
- By what date do you need a decision about co-sponsorship?
Event information goes first to co-leaders for comment, then to A-team for evaluation and recommended action by leadership team. Depending on the timeline for the event, some/all of the process may be done by email. The A-Team will use the following criteria to evaluate co-sponsorship requests:
- alignment with priorities
- economy of resources
- affinity with co-sponsors
- public image and perceptions
- benefits of partnering
- co-leader recommendations
