Banquet Event Captain

The culture at Kent Island Resort  is built on our shared core VIVÂMEE Values – JOY, HUMILITY, & MINISTRY. JOY means  that we are a true team that enjoys serving others and winning together. We  have a healthy sense of pride in a job well done. HUMILITY means  that we recognize the infinite dignity of each other (both team members &  guests) and that we seek to be helpful to everyone no matter what is  asked.  Additionally, we are not afraid to ask for help or admit when we  make a mistake. MINISTRY means that we know that our spirit  of hospitality can be a true gift for our guests.  We realize the purpose  of our daily tasks and duties must be to deliver kindness and love, and that  this power of intentionality has the capacity to revive the souls of our  guests and our team.  We hire, fire, reward, and praise our team members  based on these characteristics, so it is essential that you share these core  values in order to be a part of our wonderful team.
