Power Productions
president and owner, Judy Anderson, has written two incredibly
detailed reference manuals containing full systems for event or
fundraising auction management. These books are for anyone who has
ever wished that someone would just “show them how to do it” or
for experienced event planners wanting a new perspective.
Event Management Simplified was
written in 2002, revised in 2005, and a third
edition is due in the fall of 2007. The 276-page
book has been used as a course text by both the University of
Oregon’s Festival & Event Management Certificate Program, and as
part of Mt. Hood Community College’s Hospitality Industry
curriculum.
Auction Management
Simplified was authored in 2004 and is 330 pages in length.
A second edition will be
published in the fall of 2007. It
contains in-depth information and systematic approaches geared
specifically to fundraising auctions and their financially
successful outcomes.
Both books are
valuable resources for either the novice or experienced event
planner and are packed with information, examples, and worksheets.

“I was a student at your recent Event
Camp training and the book we received is the most comprehensive
resource I have ever seen in regard to events. I refer to it
nearly every day and the answer is always at hand. Thanks for all
the great information and for helping me to be a better event
planner.”
