The Certified Sports Event Executive program offers NASC members a chance to elevate their sports tourism careers to a whole new level.  With the opportunity to meet a variety of specialists from the industry and taking classes directed to give you a fresh, new look at the sports tourism industry.  For graduates like Kristyn Hawkins, this program enhanced her knowledge and experience in ways she never imagined. 

As the current, Sports Tourism Sales Director at the Spartanburg, South Carolina CVB, Hawkins came into the program wanting to learn more about the best practices in the industry so she could bring that back to Spartanburg CVB.  She ended up getting that and so much more.

“This program allows you to learn all aspects of sports tourism by learning from the top industry professionals,” Hawkins said.  Even more so, Hawkins recognizes that this program allowed her to build relationships and a support system to bounce ideas around. 

The respect of having ‘CSEE’ by your name is something that Hawkins finds invaluable. She says event rights holders recognize it and are more willing to trust you and your ideas. “This was a great way to enhance my knowledge and expertise in the sports industry.”
