Presentation
and Appearance
The presentation of our Conference Personnel & Liaison Officers is
incredibly important as they are essentially the faces of the entire event. The
first thing people will see is our lovely LO’s & CP’s. As a result,
standards of dress and cleanliness will be enforced. Professional presentation is a skill needed
to be learned by all who wish to enter a career, especially one in the
tourism/hospitality industry. At training, volunteers will learn what is
required of them in this regard and will be able to take these skills forward
to future opportunities. This capacity development is an excellent example of
the beneficial relationship between employer and employee.
