Event Role Checklists

Delegating roles for a social event helps them to run more smoothly by creating clear responsibilities in the distribution of tasks. One person can take on multiple roles.

Below are the roles that can be assigned to help the event run smoothly, along with the responsibilities asked of each role. As the organizer, you’ll share these role checklists with the people fulfilling the roles so they have a clear understanding of what they are accountable for.
