The Event Management Team (EMT) Experience:

• EMT leaders are an extremely important part of SLAF and are selected for participation based on the individual’s interest, talent and knowledge. A strong level of commitment and dedication and ability to be well organized is required for each EMT position. The Leader should also identify new and returning volunteers who are eager to be a part of the team leadership.

SLAF’s team approach to special event management mandates that all volunteer team members possess a keen sense of self-motivation, the proclivity to work positively with a variety of personality types and leadership styles, the ability to be flexible and to embrace change. SLAF EMTs possess and demonstrate a high standard of integrity and professionalism.
