**Planning:**
Go over the following with your supervisor prior to leaving for time off:
- what under your supervision needs to be covered by a Vote Smart staff member while you are gone? who will be covering these items in your department or do you need additional help? Is any additional training needed for whoever this is assigned to? is there anything you need the National Director or someone else to check up on with your staff, interns, volunteers, or something else while you are gone?
- are there any one-time or regularly scheduled tasks that would take place while you or your staff are gone that you are planning to put on hold until you return? what are they?
- for each person under your supervision, who will be in the office while you're gone and on what days? what assignments will you be giving them to work on while you're gone and what benchmarks would you like them to meet?
- who in your department will you be assigning to send your division's weekly report, social@ entries, Internal entries, etc.?
- What needs to be done immediately upon your return and how will you prepare? For example, getting ready for interns starting in January, mailings that need to go out immediately, etc.
