Leader Program

ESPA LEADER PROGRAM

 

ESPA’s leadership program is for members at the associate director, director and VP level and is a forum for leaders in the service field to collaborate, share best practices and talk through challenges and solutions.

Leaders within our member organizations meet on a regular basis to discuss key topics for those leading services departments.  A dedicated track is held at the Annual Conference.  Recent topics have included:

  • Demonstrating the value of services to your organization
  • Goalsetting and budgeting
  • COVID-19 best practices and new services
  • Leading through change & challenging times

If you are in a leadership position in event services, contact us to learn more about how ESPA can support you in your role.

Our Upcoming Call:

Topic:  Tips and Tricks for Empowered Leaders
Date: Tuesday, September 19, 2023 at 1:00pm ET

 

Credit: 1 Hour            Domain: E: Human Resources

As leaders, we sometimes forget that we also need a lifeline from time to time. Your days are consumed with not only manifesting greatness in your day to day role and with clients, but you are also a beacon of light for your team. The most empowered teams also seem to be the most fulfilled. And fulfilled employees tend to be more high performing, committed, and engaged – something critical for organizations in Event and Convention Services. This will be an informative discussion on Leadership Tips and Tricks to keep you motivated and empowered to be at your best. Bring your own examples to share and join the conversation!

Note: Registration requires approval from ESPA Headquarters. Once you have been approved, you will receive a link from Zoom to join the call. If you do not receive this link by the morning of the roundtables please email ESPA headquarters at info@epsaonline.org at least 1 hour before the start of the program and the link will be resent to you.
