Take a look at these Disney Princesses as Event Coordination roles…
DF event coordination teams are made up of lots of roles, each with their own particular skills and responsibilities. So if the Disney Princesses were on a coordination team, who’d do what?
Co-ordinator: Mulan
If she can lead an army, she can lead a coordination team. On bigger events, sometimes you need an overall coordinator to generally keep an eye on things, and Mulan certainly has the confidence, charisma and leadership skills to keep a coordination team on track.
Admin: Belle
Studious and sensible, Belle makes a great admin. She has both the patience to check the membership database and the creative flair to make a gorgeous info pack.
Daytime programme: Ariel
Ariel has the curiosity and bright thinking to come up with an interesting and varied daytime programme, the sensitivity to consider things everyone will like and the determination to keep emailing people to get them to come.
Evening programme: Jasmine
As a princess, Jasmine has been to plenty of parties in her time, so she knows what makes a good one. She’s great at finding bands and performers to get the good times going when the sun goes down – but has a sensitive side that knows that noisy nights are not for everyone, and so makes sure there’s chill evening programme too.
Decoration: Rapunzel
With her artistic flair, Rapunzel is a natural choice for decoration. She knows exactly how to make a place look beautiful.
Equipment: Merida
Outdoorsy and practical, Merida is perfect for the equipment job. She could work out how to put anything together, and her feisty personality and no-nonsense attitude means she could easily deal with marquee companies (and probably negotiate a free bell tent while she’s at it).
KP: Tiana
This one’s obvious, isn’t it? Tiana is an incredible cook with a passion for food, and knows how to live on a budget. With her as KP, you’d be sure to get an interesting and tasty menu – and she’d still have money to spare!
KP: Esmeralda
But KPing isn’t just about being an excellent chef. It takes a powerful personality to rally clans to action and keep a motivated atmosphere in the kitchen, and that’s where Esmeralda comes in. With Esmerelda in charge, no one will get away with ditching clan and meals will certainly be on time.
KE: Cinderella
As someone who has spent a large part of her life tidying, Cinderella knows how to get stains out of anything. Of course, it wouldn’t be fair to make Cinderella clean up after an entire camp – she’s had enough scrubbing for a lifetime – but remember the KE isn’t actually the one doing the cleaning, it’s all about delegating to clans. Plus, her kind, patient nature means she can explain exactly how to sort the recycling and clean the toilets to everyone else.
Honorable mention
Events: Snow White
She’s naturally organised and can delegate to others (look at how she convinced those woodland creatures to do her cleaning and tidying) and she can keep her head in her crisis (see convincing the 7 dwarves to let her stay despite her breaking in). Snow White is clearly Events Rep material.
