The person who is running the dinner assigns point ratings on the basis of difficulty of getting the task done. Finding the right people and getting them to pay to show for the dinner is the most difficult and time consuming task for the fundraiser – even more than finding items for the silent auction, a band and a speaker. This means in the listing of steps, the planner will concentrate time and resources on finding the right people. He will put his best and most expensive person on that project and less expensive and less.
