EMS Advisory Team and Leadership Team

Wake Forest’s event management processes and systems are governed by two groups, the EMS Leadership Team and the EMS Advisory Team. The Leadership Team takes requests and directs them to the Advisory Team when appropriate. The EMS Advisory Team is the primary decision-making group for event management issues that impact large areas or the entire campus.
