YOUR FOUNDATION YOUR FUTURE


Paul Cramer, CVE, IAVM Foundation Trustee As one of your IAVM Foundation trustees, I am honored to serve


a foundation that does so much for our amazing association. I am challenging my fellow IAVM members to make it a mission to help - courage you to ask your venue, local governments and/or founda- tions to follow our facility in gifting $1,000 per year on behalf of your venue to the foundation that supports our entire industry. We all give to our local community, including sponsorships of all kinds and various ads to promote our facilities. By giving to this campaign, you will be providing funds to research and develop important safety and recovery initiatives that can help us better manage the issues of today and tomorrow. Every day we are seeing more and more ac- tive shooter or crowd management issues in the news. Keeping our entire industry current, developing our people, and investing in your foundation today are the best ways to keep our facilities profession- ally running and safe for our public to enjoy. Historically, we have only asked the individual members to con-


tribute to the foundation. Today, we are asking the facility itself to contribute. We are a small building in Athens, Georgia. We have a convention center, performing arts theatre, and small arena.

• Continue to encourage all members to give directly to the Foundation that gives back so much to our association; • Ask the facilities themselves to provide funding for continued research, education and training in order to keep our facilities up-to-date on professional development


• Ask for strategic alliance partnerships with major league sports  and help fund the foundation • Ask building managers to solicit support from local vendors not in our allied member program that see the value in investing in the strengthening of our industry - as we prosper so too will those vendors


We are also growing the future of IAVM by supporting programs


that are vital to the future of our workforce through our 30|Under|30 program.

Various facilities have various restrictions; some cannot contribute


gifts, others can only provide training, or some may only be able to support through sponsorship giving. Whatever you can do to help is greatly appreciated. I would encourage you to think of what your ven- ue can do to support this outstanding foundation, so it can continue to be there for you in the future. Join me in investing in our industry initiatives by supporting the


Foundation with a personal gift and a contribution from your venue. Together we can build a stronger Foundation and an amazing future FM
