Nakoma Ehrhart Human Resources The following chart lists all persons involved in my project and their intended roles. Future contact with these persons is outlined, as well as backup plans should these people fail to fulfill their roles in my project.

Person(s) Dancers 1, 2, and 3

Dancer 4 (and possibly 5)

Role These are the primary dancers during my experiment who currently eat with me on Red days and will eventually eat the lunches I provide. They will also be completing the PostDance Surveys. This dancer will also eat with me on Red days. He/she will sign the contract and eat the meals I provide; however, he/she will not need to complete the Post-Dance Surveys unless one of dancers 1-3 is absent.

Communication I have already mentioned my project to these dancers and several of them seemed interested. Now, I just have to get three of them to commit to the project through a signed contract. See above.

Plan B Should none of the dancers I eat with on Red days commit, I will consult the dancers I eat with on White days. Should I have dancers commit who are absent one day, I will use my fourth dancer. If I cannot find a fourth dancer, I will refrain from participating fully myself and will become the Plan B dancer.
