Bit of advice. Don’t blame your attendance numbers on her. True that publicity is important but it seems if it was that important you would have been up on this weeks before. Good event planning includes deadlines. You already had doubts since you didn’t get e-mails from her.

You started in Jan. for an April event. If it was important for this task you would have had an absolute deadline that she would have known about and then if the task wasn’t completed it would be turned over to someone else.

This is not a new scenario and while I ALWAYS hope that people do their jobs in a timely fashion it is important to have the plan B in place.in case someone gets sick/ isn’t able to complete the task/ doesn’t perform to standard… That’s why deadlines are made in advance of a “drop dead” date.
