TEAM (TECHNIQUES FOR EFFECTIVE ALCOHOL MANAGEMENT)
Techniques for Effective Alcohol Management (TEAM) is the newest employee-focused, full-facility alcohol management program available to sport and entertainment facility managers. The program combines the wisdom of industry operations professionals from organizations such as Major League Baseball, Major League Soccer, the National Football League, National Hockey League, National Basketball Association, National Collegiate Athletic Association, ARAMARK, and others and represents the most current strategies concerning alcohol management. The TEAM program encapsulates a highly effective approach to preparing facility operations managers to train alcohol servers and event-day employees to manage the sale, service and consumption of alcohol at public gatherings.
The TEAM mission is to reduce alcohol-related events, injuries and fatalities in and around public assembly facilities and on the nation’s roadways by promoting the responsible sale, service and consumption of alcohol. We work to accomplish this through alcohol management training and “responsible fan” education materials.
ICM is committed and excited to delivering this essential program to our venues and events. If your organization or venue is interested in experiencing TEAM training, we would encourage you to contact us. We are confident this program will reduce alcohol related incidents at your facility, thereby improving fan enjoyment while mitigating the risks inherent in alcohol consumption.
