RE: Week 4 Discussion

Hello everyone,

If I were to be an executive assistant to the president of the company, I would make sure that I have all the neccessary information that I need before planning anything. I would want to know personally everything that this one participate is allergic to, to make sure when I do start planning that this participate has their special dish made for them.

All of the college presidents will have to fill out a basic form with their name on it. That will let us know what they like or don’t like, and if they are allergic to any foods, if so, what it is. Therefore, we will know what to prepare for them all.

I will send emails out informing everyone about the meeting, time, and what it is about. We all will have a virtual meeting. You can use your phone, tablet, laptop, or computer. This will be more convinient just in case some wouldn’t be able to make it to a destination, it will be better to join the meeting from home. The meeting will go over everything the the presidents fill out on the form and about the event. After finding out who it is that’s allergic to certain things, then we can start planning our menu and event accordingly.
