Committees
There are many ways to get involved with Southeast Festivals & Events Association. One of the easiest and most rewarding is to join a committee.
Being part of a committee means that you get to know other festival planners and suppliers who feel committed to the same causes you do.
Our current working committees are focused on:
- Membership
- Marketing
- Education/Certification
- Conference
- Vendor Task Force
If you’d like to be part of a committee, we’ll help you get directed to their next meeting – just contact us! And if you have an idea for a committee you’d like to help start, let us know.
We’d love your help in making our association even better!
