  • Joliet Slammers Professional Baseball Team: a Proposal to Increase Brand Awareness and Information Dissemination in Local and Surrounding Communities
    Joliet Slammers Professional Baseball Team: A Proposal to Increase Brand Awareness and Information Dissemination in Local and Surrounding Communities An Honors Thesis (SPTA 479) by Brett Bennick Thesis Advisor Elizabeth Wanless Ball State University Muncie, Indiana August 2013 Expected Date of Graduation May 2014 SpCcIl U~E'Y'5r '1h~'S,s LD 2'f8Q Abstract - ZLf ZD I'-r .2>liSS As a member of the Sport Administration Program at Ball State University, I was required to complete an internship with an organization related to the sport administration field in order to gain as much hands- on experience as possible prior to seeking full-time employment. The main objectives of this internship experience were to 1) gain practical experience in a specific area in the sport industry under professional supervision and guidance and 2) to apply theories and principles from my formal education to specific situations within the sports industry. I choose to intern with the Joliet Slammers Professional Baseball Team and over the course of my internship, I critically analyzed and evaluated the organization's policies, procedures, and overall business strategy. Based on my personal experience and research, I conducted a SWOT analysis; which examined the organization's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats; identified seven recommendations for the organization based on this analysis; and then devised a comprehensive business proposal to implement one of the specific recommendations. My business proposal focuses on ways that the Joliet Slammers can increase brand awareness and information dissemination in local and surrounding communities. 2 Acknowledgements I would like to thank Professor Liz Wanless for not only her advice and guidance throughout my internship and completion of this project, but also for helping with me with my transition from college to the professional world.

  • Believe in Blue Island by Alderman Tom Hawley June 13, 2014 Hello Everyone, After a Rainy Week, It Looks Like We're Going To
    Believe in Blue Island By Alderman Tom Hawley June 13, 2014 Hello Everyone, After a rainy week, it looks like we're going to have a decent weekend. Hope you enjoy it! There was a glitch on the water bills this month. The City switched to a new billing system this month and they are not formatted correctly. The "Total Current Charges" box reflects ONLY the water charge and the large amount included in the "Penalty Charges" is NOT a penalty, it's your actual current amount owed which includes sewer and trash charges. You should have received Code Red notification on this. If you have not, please see below how to sign up so that you may receive them! Last weekend, there was so much going on. We started at the Pancake Breakfast for the Veterans Day Parade. We headed over to the Cal-Sag Trail Groundbreaking...what a great day! The Trail is happening! I Illinois Department of Natural Resources announced a grant of $1.2 Million to go to help with the match for the eastern part of the Trail (the part Blue Island is the lead for) and that will be breaking ground next year. The Bethel Pentecostal Church Kid-Cop Day was a lot of fun and Korbakes Wine Pairing and BBQ must have been a huge success because they were out of food by the time we got there! It was a jam packed day in Blue Island. And on Sunday, the Blue Island Open Streets event was a great event! If you missed this one, look for information on the next one and make sure you go.
