Which sequence best outlines the core steps in planning a Department of Women event from inception to evaluation?

Setting clear objectives is the starting point that guides every decision in the event. Once the objective is defined, you form a planning team and assign roles so responsibilities are clear and work isn’t duplicated. With a team in place, you develop a budget and a timeline that reflect the scope and deadlines, then design the program content to meet the objective. Promotion follows to invite participation, and coordinating logistics ensures the venue, equipment, and schedules run smoothly. Safety considerations are integrated into the plan so attendees are protected. After the event, you use evaluation surveys to measure impact and gather feedback, then hold a debrief to capture lessons learned for future events. This sequence keeps the planning process organized from inception to evaluation, making sure purpose drives structure, resources, and follow-up. Other options skip essential steps or place actions in illogical order—jumping to fundraising or a ceremonial finish without first defining objectives, omitting evaluation, or promoting before clarifying purpose—so they don’t provide a complete, coherent plan from start to finish.
