We all want an event to be successful. Nobody wants to attend an event with only 2-3 participants.

Content is king. A boring event, even if well publicized, will struggle to attract people.

Over 250 events, the Humanist Society has learnt what attracts non-religious to come, and what doesn’t.

Our volunteers’ time are precious.

Instead of reinventing the wheel and doing a survey of what people want, it is better to build on accumulated wisdom.

That’s why we should do the following:

• Check out HumanistSG most popular content
• Understand the non-religious demographic
• Replicate a successful past event by HumanistSG – talks / socials / community work

The Humanist Society does not have

• Full time staff
• An office

In preparation for an event , our Exco do the bulk of the work remotely.

We use a variety of digital tools, including but not limited to:

• Personal and Society emails
• Google Drive
• Whatsapp and Telegram
• Multiple social media accounts
• WordPress website and backend

As a result, we formed an internal portal that can provide HSS Exco with a dashboard to navigate to key links quickly.

Using the Exco portal helps save time, and facilitates handover between old and new Exco.

It is important to equip Exco with the right tools from the beginning, otherwise they cannot get work done.
