Vip Pass

Here are some more information for Vip Pass:

Basically, the job of an environmental lobbyist involves persuading politicians on the local and national levels, in both the legislative and executive branches of government, to pass laws, policies and regulations for a cleaner environment. And in these times pervaded by the rule of law, it is very important to effect change within the law!

The career outlook for an environmental lobbyist is good. They make on average $30-$50 thousand a year.

Green Job

When an environmental legislation is passed, virtually all sectors of society will be affected in one way or another. Thus, whenever said law provides for a cleaner, better and healthier environment, the job of an environment lobbyist becomes a truly green one.

Demands of the Job

As an environmental lobbyist, an individual will be required to socialize, discuss and persuade legislators, government executives, private sector leaders and other environmental groups to the organization's point of view. As such, it is one of the most exciting, most rewarding and most stressful green jobs on the planet!

Depending on the organization for which an environmental lobbyist works for, the following job responsibilities may be expected: o Advocacy Work - Call the attention of policy makers about environment problems as well as present solutions for them. This may also involve persuasion to the organization's platform in relation to the problem and solution being presented. o Campaign Work - Create a campaign strategy to raise public awareness, build coalitions with other environmental organizations, organize grassroots movements, secure VIP endorsements and formulate focused messages. o Media Outreach - Tap into the power of broadcast, print, radio, and online media to strengthen environmental campaigns as well as to raise public awareness of environmental issues under advocacy. o Fundraising Activities - Raise money for organizational activities through grants, donations and even loans.

In accordance with these responsibilities, an environmental lobbyist often needs to be highly knowledgeable about existing policies about specific issues, currents trends and updates in environmental policies, and social and political factors affecting the organization's advocacy, to name a few.

The pressures of the job are well worth the salary, which can range from $35,000 to $45,000 depending on company policies, location, educational attainment, work experience, and network of contacts, among other things.

Most environmental lobbyists enjoy generous employee benefits that include health care coverage, retirement plan, educational loan assistance as well as paid vacation and sick days. Travel, career advancement and training opportunities may also be offered. Again, various factors come into play when it comes to employee benefits, just like in employee salary.

Qualifications of the Job

On the professional side, an environmental lobbyist must possess a four-year degree course preferably in political science, environmental science and social sciences. Take note, however, that almost any bachelor degree will do since experience matters most in this line of work. And speaking of work experience, it must be focused on work related to politics and policy, legal and social settings, and even journalism as it relates to the environment, with a minimum of 3-8 years actual exposure.

On the personal side, passion and persistence, determination and drive, good oral and written communication and negotiation skills, and good interpersonal skills, to name a few, are highly desirable.

So, when you believe that you have the passion to institute change in government and in society as it relates to environmental issues, a career as an environmental lobbyist is a path well worth taking.

Lifetime VIP Member Pamela F. Robertson Gives Testimonial to Biltmore Who’s Who

Senior Contracts Administrator for Bell Helicopter, Pamela F. Robertson, thanks the prestigious Biltmore Who’s Who for helping her generate business and maximize exposure for her company.

Robertson’s main goal when becoming a member was simple: to network, research and locate a procurement management opportunity.    However, after California Coast University saw a press release that was written on her by Biltmore, the college where she achieved her MBA in 2008, they immediately got in contact with her, asking if they could feature her in a spotlight article in their Alumni Magazine.

Soon after, Robertson’s fellow employees got wind of the release on the web and were passing it around the office.  “I was congratulated by my university, my workplace, by my friends and family,†Robertson said.

Based in Fort Worth, Texas, Bell Helicopter designs, builds and supports some of the most reliable and proven aircraft in the world.  Founded in 1935 as Bell Aircraft Corporation, Bell Helicopter is a major industry leader, delivering over 35,000 aircraft to customers and military around the world.

As a senior contracts administrator, Mrs. Robertson does direct government contracting with the Naval Air Systems Command, negotiating, managing, executing and administering military contracts.  She has been with the company for just under a year, but has over 17 years experience in the procurement field.  

Robertson is a Six Sigma Specialist and is a member of the National Contract Management Association, Institute for Supply Management and Delta Epsilon Tau International Society.  She’s been recently noted for serving as supply chain as part of a Six Sigma project that established a new strategic supplier partner through negotiation efforts.  This project achieved her an Award of Excellence for saving her company $12.5 million, resulting in company-wide recognition.

Robertson is happy with her new found membership, saying that she has “certainly achieved notoriety†thus far.  “I believe Biltmore Who’s Who to be a good avenue for persons who are being glossed over in their career field.  I have the ‘VIP Honored Member’ of Biltmore on my resume and I think it definitely gets the attention of companies that are looking for an achiever,†she said.

what are the advantages of getting a vip pass to a concert instead of a ticket?

i just want to know because i want to buy a ticket and i don't know what you get if u have a vip pass...

Usually if you are a 'VIP' you get better seats and you have more of an advantage of meeting the band. It is probably worth it. I went to a concert one time and to get VIP passes I waited in line all day. It really paid off because I got to be really close to the band and got pictures with some of the warm up bands. I didn't get to meet the band that I was really there to see because there was a big storm and the concert got cancelled so that was a bummer but hopefully you will get to meet the band you want to see! Hope I helped and have an amazing time at your concert!
