Up next on our spotlight of recipients of the IAVM Foundation’s inaugural class of 30|UNDER|30 is Brittanie Roldan, director of guest services at the Prudential Center and New Jersey Devils.
“One of my values here at Prudential Center is to think big, risk smart. It’s all about continuous learning, continuous improvement and innovation,” Roldan said when asked about what she looks to take away from attending VenueConnect. “That’s what I forward to taking away most from the IAVM conferences—getting around other industry professionals and figuring out more efficient and effective ways of doing things and really learning the industry trends and the opportunities that we have here to implement at Prudential Center.”
Please watch the video above to learn more about Roldan, and thank you to SearchWide and Ungerboeck Software International for their generous support of the IAVM Foundation’s 30|UNDER|30 program.
Please welcome our newest members who joined IAVM in March and April 2015—a total of 289 new members. Our network of professionals is growing and we are reaching record numbers. Thank you for being a part of the association!
According to the 2014 Sustainability Report from VenueDataSource, one major obstacle toward moving forward with venue specific sustainability projects is the ability to convince senior leadership of its value. One goal of the IAVM Sustainability Committee is to assist IAVM members in exploring sustainability program opportunities with proven results. One such opportunity is to capitalize on public and private rebate and informational programs. Toward that goal, the committee will issue information related to partnership opportunities utilizing the newly formed Partnerships & Incentives Sub-Committee.
In the interim, one good place to start exploring public resources is the U.S. Department of Energy website: http://energy.gov. This site provides information on energy initiatives and programs, and you can also find a link to state specific programs on the site.

Jacob Molz and his company, ISS 24/7, did something really cool. They created an infographic based on VenueDataSource’s 2015 Safety and Security Report.
“The most professional venue managers are well-informed,” Molz wrote on Medium. “This data can help you make data-driven decisions. So, we hope you use this information to improve your venue’s processes. That way, the industry as a collective can experience a quantifiable uptick in performance.”
Thank you, ISS 24/7, for the infographic (click on image to enlarge it)!
As you head into your weekend, take a moment and watch this delightful “30 for 30” short about the San Francisco Giants’ mascot from the 1980s.
“The Anti-Mascot” is directed by Colin Hanks and tells the story of a team, the fans, and a hated crab.
