Signature Events
Signature Events are those events at the University of Idaho that best reflect the institution's goals, mission and strategic plan to our alumni, community, region and state. The office of Signature Events assists in the strategic planning and organization of these events to help maintain or elevate them to established standards of quality.
Planning and organization of a university-wide signature
event is done by a centrally driven committee, which consists of an event
owner, project coordinator, and planning team. Event ownership always
remains with the program or college from which the event originates.
Some of the services provided by the project coordinator may include tracking
assignments and designating tasks, coordinating and managing committee
meetings, outlining planning timelines, providing cost estimates, tracking
costs within a predetermined budget, supervising the event evaluation
process, and overall event supervision.
A Signature Events Booklet has been developed to provide definition, standards and expectations for signature events. These guidelines provide the structure and expectations necessary to properly plan and execute the university's most high profile functions, adding consistency to pre- and post-event planning, event presentation and style, and the general flow at any given signature event. For assistance in planning a Signature Event or to request a copy of this booklet, please contact Tammy Ford, Manager of Presidential and Signature Events, at 885-4700.
