MARIE’S MISSION MOMENT WITH TEAM COALITION

One of the positive outcomes of embracing TEAM training is the consistently high remarks scored on alcohol mystery shops conducted by our internal staff and the company-hired outside organization. This shows that the associates and management staff are committed to responsible alcohol service during interactions with fans.

Being a Master Trainer for TEAM has been one of the highlights of my career. Knowing that I am training the trainers that will go back to their venues and train their associates in what it means to serve alcohol responsibility is humbling but also gratifying. Seeing the trainers make the connection between responsible alcohol service and fan experience in their venue and how the associates are the frontline in ensuring that the policies and procedures are implemented is a wonderful feeling as a Master Trainer for TEAM.Marie Eslick Human Resources Manager Delaware North Sportservice

The success of TEAM’s alcohol management training program rests squarely on the shoulders of facility leaders like Anne Wheat who have embraced the idea that everyone has a role and a responsibility when it comes to preventing negative fan behavior and drunk driving. Teamwork is what a successful alcohol management is all about. Anne’s efforts at MetLife Stadium demonstrate that when everyone – including guest services, security, ushers, gate attendants, elevator operators, alcohol servers, suite attendants and the fans – takes responsibility, everyone wins.Jill Kiefer Executive Director TEAM Coalition

US DOT / NHTSA 2018 NATIONAL DATA:

In 2018, 10,511 people were killed as a result of alcohol-related (BAC > 0.08) car crashes, an decrease of 3.6% from the 10,908 fatalities in 2017.
Many, if not most of those lives would have been saved if people did not drive when they were impaired by alcohol or if they used sober, designated drivers or if they simply wore their seat belts.
Statistics and research clearly show that 21-34 year old males are the demographic most likely to be involved in an automobile crash, drive when impaired by alcohol, and fail to buckle up.
