How to set up your Debs Committee (and what to do next...)

It’s easy to set up your Debs Committee, plus there are loads of advantages to being on one. You get to call the shots, pick the venue, the date and whatever extras you want!

DR Tip: Set up your committee in 5th year to get a head start on all other schools and avail of the best venues and dates!

The sooner you get set up, the better. You will be competing with every other school to get the best venues and with so much other work to do for your leaving cert year, it really pays to get booking early!

Your committee should represent your entire year and needs to be responsible enough to handle money and make important decisions. No problem though, book with Debs Republic and we’ll be there every step of the way to help you out!

There are 2 steps in forming your committee.

• Nominations. Make a list of everyone in your year interested in joining the Debs Committee. People can nominate themselves or someone else can nominate them. Make sure everyone on the list actually wants to be part of the committee! It’s important to open up nominations to your whole year and encourage as many people to put their name forward as possible.
• Voting. When you have compiled a list of nominations, you need to vote in the top 6 candidates. You can find a sample ballot sheet here.
• Fill in the blanks and photocopy as many times as you need. Hand out the sheets in the morning or during lunch break and count up the votes. The top 6 candidates will form the new Debs Committee

 DR TIp: Don't have any more than 6 people on your committee- too many opinions can make it very hard to make decisions!

After you have formed your committee, set up a Facebook or WhatsApp group to keep in touch with other members easily.

Then contact us here at Debs Republic! We will meet up with your entire committee and run through a number of options for your Debs.

We will organise a FREE viewing of your venue or venues of choice so you can see exactly whats on offer. There is no obligation to purchase and we are on hand 24/7 to ensure you have the best Debs experience possible!
