  • Create a schedule for the Awards Ceremony and communicate the schedule to everyone involved during the scheduled time.  Since multiple activities may be scheduled, no one should be allowed to exceed the time allotted to them.  Stress this!  Be prepared to speed things up during the ceremony, if necessary.
