Words of Wisdom
"The greater danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it,

Our Mission -
"The Mount Prospect Special Events Commission creates quality events that celebrate as well as
honor special occasions, special people, and the ideals that make Mount Prospect a great place to
live. The pleasure and entertainment of the public is our primary objective and we will always
strive to do that in a memorable way."
Chairman's Expectations-
1. Attendance - As an appointed member of this commission, you are expected to attend
most of the meetings. We will all have occasional conflicts that will prevent our attendance.
In those cases, please let me know in advance. Being absent 4 out of 12 meetings may be
considered excessive. Please avoid unexcused absences.
2. Participation - We have all have special talents, abilities, or just plain good looks. Each
member is expected to contribute their creativity to the group. Once our plans are made,
individuals will execute the many tasks. Taking on responsibilities is the cornerstone of our
effectiveness. Many hands make light work.
3. Honesty & Humility - No one member "is" the Special Events Commission. Only as a
synchronized group can we accomplish the most in the time we have. No discussion is off-
limits at the meetings. In fact, conflict at the meetings is the only place conflict should be
found. Because only there, can we get the full consensus and varied opinions of the
members. It is the best place to resolve differences in opinions and procedures. A member
who walks away from a meeting with an unspoken issue, is a member who is not fulfilling
their duties as an appointed member of the commission. You will need courage and
conviction to say "I have to be honest, I don't think that is right." We must check our egos at
the door and be open to the thoughts and opinions of others. As a group, we will reach a
consensus. Once reached, we agree to honor those decisions.
Please notify Tom if you:
. Will be unavoidably absent from a meeting.
. Wish to add an agenda item (by the Saturday prior to the meeting).
. Wish to submit a report in your absence.
