FOREWORD
Dear Fellow Jaycees:
The purpose of thi s gui de is to teach you how to wri te Chairman's
Planning Guide (CPGs) Project Notebooks. These project notebooks can be
used to enter in the appropriate single project awards category and be
used to support your programming entries.
During the year (1975-1976), I served as Project Chairman for the
Petersburg Jaycees CPG Project Notebook Program. This guide was develop
ed to train our members on how to wri te single project notebook entries.
The results on the success of this gmide speak for themselves. In
the Virginia State Competition, 15 out of 23 single project entries won
an award. Specifically, there were 8 first place entries in Population
Division V (2 of which won sweepstakes awards), 4 second place entries
in Population Division V and 3 third place entries in Population Division
V. Our Individual Development Programming Notebook entry placed second
in Population Division V and our Giessenbier notebook entry placed third
in Population Division V. Also, our noteboo~were entered and won the
Jaycee creed award. On the national level we had 3 single project note
book entries won first place awards in Population Division V, our Indi
vidual Development Programming Notebook entry won a first place award in
Population Division V and went on to place first in the U.S. and our
Giessenbier notebook won a first place award in Population
Division V, and went on to place the Petersburg Jaycees as the
number two chapter in the U.S. for 1975-1976.

Since the CPG is one of the management tools pronPted by the U.S.
Jaycees to develop us into better leaders in our communities, it is believ
ed this guide will more fully explain the proper use of the CPG in planning
and record-keeping to run a project successfully and how to document the
res u1ts for use in award competi ti on. If addi t i ona 1 copies of thi s gui de
are needed, they can be purchased from the undersigned for $2.50 per copy.

I. ROCls (Relevant Organization Concept of Chapter and Project Planning).
What is an ROC? It is a chapter management, programming and leader
ship training tool. It can aide in identifying the needs of chapter members
and of the community. One major portion of the ROC is the Chainman's Plann
ing Guide (CPG). The purpose of the Chairman's Planning Guide is to aide
the project Chairman to run a successful project. The second part of the
CPG concept is for the project Chairman to keep a detailed record of how
he ran the project and write-up the results as a project notebook.
Why should the project Chairman have to write-up how the project was
run if it was successful? There are two major reasons, one reason is that
each year your chapter has run many successful internal and external pro
jects but have failed to document the results so that if the project is
run again the following year then the next project Chairman will have a
good guide to go by. The second reason is so that single project notebooks
can be entered into state competition and be judged so that your Jaycee
chapter can obtain credit for the work they have done.
II. Judging Criteria for Notebook Submissions,
The sheet that follows isincluded because it tells one how his note
book submission will be scored by the judges, what infonmation must be in
cluded in the write-up and how it must be written and how many potential
points will be awarded for each area. Thus, one would be wise to read this
sheet before ever completing the planning section of the CPG prior to pro
ject initiation.

7. What problems do you anticipate needing to overcome to successfully
complete this project? Outline alternative methods to overcome eachproblem. This step in the planning process is extremely important.Take the time necessary to explore the possible pitfalls or dangers you
may encounter. This is essentially negative brainstorming in order tounderstand ahead of time, as much as possible, what things might
prevent the successful completion of this project. You should find thefollowing procedure useful in the problem-solving process.
a. Clearly define each problem. The key questions are "why" and
"what" is causing the problem?
b. Gather and analyze the data and facts.
c. Think up all the possible solutions.
d. Select the three or four best ideas.
e. Give indepth attention to each, trying to improve each by adding,
combining, or modifying each.
f. If possible, pretest the tentative solutions.
g. Adopt the final solutions.
8. List the specific steps to be taken to bring this project to a successful
completion. Show approximate date for each step. Develop a schedule orplan of action. Only with a schedule can you tell for sure whether
things are going well or badly. As committee chairman, you need to knowthe major activities. When do they need to be completed? If they are
going to be accomplished on schedule, when must they begin? Each of your
sub-committee chairmen should go into detail and specifics in schedulingtheir portions of the project. Don't wait until "D-Day" to discover
you're off schedule. (For schedule use a bar Chart or

9.Com~lete the proposed budget showing all anticihated income and expenses.Estlmate your income from all sources. How muc will be needed from the
chapter treasury? Will money be needed to pay certain expenses beforefunds will be realized from outside sources? Itemize the costs expected
with the project. How much money will be expended and on what items?Analyze various ways you can save money. Ask yourself "could this bedone cheaper?" (Use back of CPG.) (Repeat here or refer to back of CPG).

IMP L E MEN TAT ION
10. Record the specific steps as taken and the results of each. Withpreplanning finished, it becomes time to act. As the various aspects
of the project are started, record briefly the action taken and when.As the project progresses, you will find it helpful to be able to refer
to prior action. Be brief and concise, showing important items, suchas; times, people involved, decisions arrived at, and commitments made.
DATE BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF ACTIONS TAKEN
11. Record any revisions or changes in plans as they become necessary.It is not realistic to expect that a perfedt plan has been designed.
However, good preplanning should eliminate unforeseen major problemswhich would require the need for major revisions. Make a record of any
changes, large or small, that are made as the project is conducted. Itis likely an alternative method for anticipated problems may have to beused. Record the use of the alternative method that was used and why.
(This question should relate back to question 7 in the Planning Section).
12. Record income and expenses as they occur. Good financial management
requires that you know where you are at all times. As expenses or costsare incurred, make a record of them. This will prevent you and the
chapter from being surprised by a bill long after the project is completed.
DATE DESCRIPTION INCOME EXPENSE
13. Record role of non-Jaycees. Many people or groups within yourcommunity may wish to assist you in a project. It is a good idea torecord the names of those who assisted you. Remember to express your
appreciation to these people.

Were the goals attained? Describe briefly, but honestly, what you
personally gained from this project and what was gained by your committeemembers. (Be sure to include evidence of goal attainment in substantiatingmaterials section).
15. Describe any problems not anticipated and how they were handled. Describethe major problems experienced and how you arrived at the final solution.In the case of problems that could not be overcome, outline why and what
impact these problems had on your overall success. (This question should

MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES
Planning - Good advanced planning is the basis for a successful project.Our chapter emphasizes the use of the Chairman's Planning Guide (CPG)as the key to project success. For example, we are required to usethe CPG and the previous project notebook in planning and conductingour projects. First we must answer each of the nine questions underthe planning section of the CPG prior to beginning the project. Bydoing this, one can plan the events and activities to happen on purpose,rather than by accident. In summary, this management technique hasforced me to think ahead so that I will not have to take haphazardactions which are usually the case when the project has not beenproperly planned.
TRAINING - One thing this project has done for me as project chairman,was to train me in the use of the CPG and how to conduct a project.One of the first things that was done when I accepted chairmanship ofthis project was that the supervising chapter officer sat down with meand taught me and the role I was to play in order to carry out thisproject successfully. There were four fundamental management techniquesthat were covered: 1) planning, 2) communications, 3) personnelmanagement and 4) financial management. Without this training, runningthis project would have been a frustrating experience but with thistraining and experience gained by conducting this project has allowedme to perform my duties on my regular job in a more effective andefficient manner.
COMMUNICATIONS - As project chairman, I quickly learned that communication.is one of the major keys in delegating work to be done. Communication
is more than simply telephoning a person on your project and tellinghim something or sending him a note, to communicate to him effectively,you must have two events occur. First you as project chairman musttransmit your message and the person on your project must receive themessage and understand it for the communication to be effective. Asproject chairman, you soon learn that there are four basic ways tocommunicate to the people working on your project: 1) written, 2) oral,3) visual and 4) indirect. As a project chairman, I quickly learnedthat I must keep my project members informed if the project is to beaccomplished in a timely and successful manner because information thatcomes too late will result in lack of or non-accomplishment of that task.
PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT - As project chairman, you quickly learn that personal
management is another one of the keys to project success, yet the hardestto achieve. All of the planning and organization cannot accomplish theproject without human resources. Since Jaycees are a civic group ofvolunteers, one cannot use.fear to motivate them rather one must useattitude (inspire them through your leadership ability) and incentivesto get them to work and produce. "Jaycees are people:" and must betreated as such. Thus the real key to getting the project done is to
23
-
8/4/2019 Guide for Preparing Chairman's Planning Guide(CPG) Project Notebooks
25/41
motivate your team by 1) making the members feel important and wanted,2) making them see the importance of their role on the project, 3)explaining the benefits they will get from participating on this project,4) make sure they know what they are to do and what you expect of them,5) make sure you and they agree on a reasonable standard of performance,6) teach them the neccessary skills needed to perform their tasks on
the project and 7) show them appreciation for their efforts is the mostimportant key. These are some important personnel management techniquesto use to activate your project members. You soon learn as projectchairman and personnel manager, that you will not treat every memberalike but must work with each project member on an individaul personto-person basis.
FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT - This aspect of management is important and mustnot be overlooked. By use of the CPG and answering each of the ninequestions before the project is begun, one-is forced to prepare a budgetwhen you answer question 9. Thus, by preparing the budget for theproject, you quickly learn what expenses you will incur and if additionalrevenue must be raised to complete the project. Thus you and yourcommittee chairmen know how much they have to spend and/or raise sothey won't end up spending more than your income.

IX. Responsibi.l i .ties.for Preparation of Prograntning notebooks
Eactt Di.rector is to see tl1at CP~ project notecooks are turned in under
his jurisdiction no later tnan1a
days after project completion. This is
a team effort and after reading this guide I would expect eacn Director and
officer of this Jaycee chapter to be ac1e to write-up a CPG project note:
book. Also, as project notebooKs are turned in to you, you should edit and
rewrite prior to chairman of CPG project notebooksreceiving them. You are
the ones closest to these projects and in the best position to do this.
This is a team effort and if we expect to get the credit we are due, each
must do his part. My duty is to try to put the final icing on the cake so
as to help you'll get the credit you are due.
I am going to ask the President to be responsible for putting to
gether the draft of the overall ProgramTling Notecook Entry CGiessenbi.er),
Internal VP to be responsible for the fndividua1 Development Programming
Notebook Entry, and External VP to be responsible for the Community Awards
