Becoming a new member of Sports ETA is an exciting time. Event and tourism organizations are welcomed into a big network of colleagues and introduced to dozens of resources. It can be a lot to take in. That’s where our Mentoring and Engagement committee comes in.

Experienced Sports ETA members volunteer to serve as mentors to new member organizations and first-time Sports ETA event attendees who are new to the sports events and tourism industry. These mentors are there to offer advice, best practices in different areas of the industry, and a friendly face at Sports ETA events.

These mentors are not just there for new members; they can be of help to members who have been with Sports ETA for years. If you have a dilemma and need some friendly advice, one of our mentors will be glad to help you. Or if you are traveling to a city you are unfamiliar with, check out our mentors to see if they can make any recommendations.

This committee of about 40 industry leaders have a wide range of experience and diverse background, but they have one thing in common- they want to help Sports ETA members. This is an exclusive resource for members that cannot be replicated anywhere else, so use it!

To help you get to know the mentoring committee, we will be spotlighting each mentor over the coming months. One-by-one they will be telling us about their experience, background and areas they excel in, along with some fun facts to help you get to know a little more about the person you may want to talk with.

In the meantime, you can check out all our mentors on our website. Feel free to reach out to any of them. We hope you find this resource helpful.
