We are hosting an event October 17-19th and were awarded this grant but I've had a heck of a time getting the event posted to the website. Do I need to work with the chapter to have you post it? I'm personally from MN (I'm assisting with putting the event on), however the person in charge of the event (Abby Carlson) and the event itself are both located out of Wahpeton, North Dakota. Can you assist me with this or direct me on what I need to do to get it posted to the website?

Hi Melissa,

 

I was able to connect with James yesterday and he let me know that we have created a whole new library of event tutorials for chapters to utilize. The videos can be found in this YouTube playlist and I will update the link in the document that I originally sent you:

 

PF and QF Upland Events Platform - YouTube

 

This video specifically outlines how to create an event electronically in the Upland Events Platform: Creating an Event in the UEP

 

Thanks,

Ashley

I’m so sorry, Melissa! Unfortunately, we don’t have banners available to send out—those need to be purchased by Chapters through our Scheel’s store or Print on Demand. If you’d like, I’m happy to walk you through that process to make it as easy as possible.

 

@James Harris,
I noticed that the tutorial video I had linked in one of my Learn to Hunt Event documents (attached) is no longer available. This was the original link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTQboQE9fmc.

Do we have an updated video resource that shows chapters how to create an event within the UEP?

Thank you,
Ashley

Hello Ashley!

 

I am trying to watch the "Create your event in the Upland Events Platform [Tutorial]" on YouTube, but it says it is private. Could you assist me with this so I can set up the event? We are SO excited to have your partnership with our Women's event this year!

 

Additionally, would you be willing to send out a banner that we could display during our events to promote Pheasants Forever?

 

Thank you so much!

Melissa

Melissa and Abby,

I’m excited to inform you that we’ve received your application for the adult Learn to Hunt grant, and your Dakota Southeast Pheasants Forever Chapter Women’s Pheasant Hunt has been pre-approved!

 As a quick reminder, the reimbursement process works as follows:

  • Your chapter will pay for the entire event upfront.
  • After reporting the event and completing the attached checklist we will transfer 50% of the expenses (up to $500) to your chapter’s CMS account.

To help you with the process, please use the attached checklist, which will guide you through the necessary steps and objectives.

 Resources:

Important Tasks:

  • Create the event in the Upland Events Platform and register participants ahead of time
  • Pre-Event and Post-Event Surveys: These surveys help us assess the success of our women’s programs.
    • Send the pre-event survey to participants before the event.
    • Allow 15 minutes before departure for participants to complete the post-event survey.
    • Survey Tip: Print the attached QR code and have it available at the event for participants to scan and complete the survey on their phones. Please do not print paper surveys as it would be difficult to transfer data into an electronic format for analysis. This method is most effective when someone walks through the group with the QR code on a clipboard encouraging participants to take the survey in real time.
    • I will send you the results in aggregate, so you can gain insights into how participants felt and any opportunities to improve future events.

Additional Information:

  • onX Discount Code: Attached is a discount code that all participants can use for onX products.

 

With the support of leaders like you, we can continue growing our efforts to recruit, retain, and reactivate diverse sportswomen and men across the country. Thank you for your dedication—together, we truly can make a difference!

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me at ach...@pheasantsforever.org. I appreciate your help and wish you the best of luck with your upcoming event!

Thank you again,
Ashley

My only issue is that they apparently claimed that our chapter was sponsoring them for a PF grant for this event and they've never contacted us.  I think we helped them out the first year they did this after this Abby contacted us and came to a couple board meetings, we never heard from her since.
