Each year the company runs a Leadership Conference. This year’s conference will be held in October 2017
and planning has commenced. The Operations Manager wants to share ideas about conference topics and
to allocate roles and responsibilities in regard to organizing and running the conference.
As the Administration and Project Officer for the company, you are responsible for organising all meetings.
The Operations Manager has sent you the following email to advise of the arrangements for the meeting
about the draft conference program.
As you know, we will be holding our annual Leadership Conference in October 2017 (Leading in the
twentieth century). I want to organise a meeting during the week commencing February 6 2017 to discuss
the conference program. I have a number of ideas I would like to share.
Can you please have a look at Bob, Jack, Jane and Leander’s calendars and identify a time during that
week when we could all meet. The meeting will need to be for 1 hour, maximum.
Please send an email to all staff as soon as possible advising of this meeting in accordance with our
meeting policy and procedure. Please let them know what the meeting is about, and ask them to come
along with ideas for conference topics.
Please also advise them that we will be finalising the conference program at the meeting, as well as
allocating roles and responsibilities for organising the conferences. This will include organising a suitable
venue and the catering, as well as the conference speakers. I would also like to plan a series of meetings
over the upcoming months to ensure that we are keeping on track, and would therefore like to discuss a
schedule for these with staff.
Once all the arrangements have been made, I will need you to prepare an agenda with the draft conference
program attached to send out to staff as per the timelines specified in the meeting policy. The meeting will
mostly focus on the finalising the conference themes and I will also give all staff an overview of the
conference.
I’ve attached the draft conference program for you to send with the agenda.

document, tracking your changes. Send this version to your assessor via email to show that you have proof
read the document. Your proof reading will need to ensure that you check for spelling and grammar, as well
