Arrange a discussion by phone or email to find out more about the organizer in question. Ask questions such as: How long have you been organizing? Have you worked on a similar project? Do you carry insurance? How do you charge for your services? Do you work alone or as a team? It’s a two-way conversation for both of you to determine if you are a good fit to work together. Be prepared to share details about your situation, including: What budget you have in mind When you’d like to begin working together and any deadlines for the project Whether you smoke or have pets Special situations that the organizer should be aware of such as physical challenges, illness etc. Where you live Directions and parking instructions When interviewing potential organizers, be sure you feel comfortable with the person you’re working with.
