To Our IFEA Industry Friends and Peers,   Long-time IFEA member High Point University, along with the University of South Florida, is conducting a study to examine event professionals’ experience and leadership roles within the workplace, specific to the festivals and events industry. Their preliminary research has shown strong evidence of the under-representation of women in leadership positions within the festivals and events industry, despite there being a high number of women within this space, and that there is a gender equity and leadership gap that warrants further exploration. We are asking for your participation in that study by completing the survey linked below.   Your participation, knowledge, and experience will provide a valuable contribution to understanding the role and status of event professionals in the festivals and events industry. Respondents will also have a chance to receive a $50 Amazon gift card.   Thank you in advance for your consideration of this research, and we appreciate your continued support of the IFEA and our global community.
