class=\"wp-caption-text\">Left to right: Brant Dolan and Patrick Sutton<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Sutton, Sports Sales Manager and a former Mocs football player from Sevierville, Tennessee, promotes Chattanooga as a terrific venue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRight now I\u2019m working with a client who will bring a youth and adult softball event with 68 teams and 40 of those teams will come from 90 miles or further from Chattanooga.\u00a0 When you think about it, there are 12 athletes per team plus others who will join them, that\u2019s a lot of people.\u00a0 They\u2019ll be playing ball in Ooltewah, staying in local hotels and eating in restaurants,\u201d Sutton said.<\/p>\n<p>As Health and Human Performance majors at UTC, both Sutton and Donlon were required to take two internships.\u00a0 Before they were hired for their current jobs, they both interned with the Chattanooga Sports Committee, which is overseen by the Chattanooga Convention and Visitors Bureau.<\/p>\n<p>While they were students, their internships gave them the opportunity to apply their academic knowledge and it gave their future employer an idea of what the two new positions could accomplish for the Committee.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can add value to every single event planned for the Chattanooga sports community,\u201d said Tim Morgan,<strong><i> <\/i><\/strong>President of the Chattanooga Sports Committee.\u00a0 \u201cAs the sports business in our region grows, we needed to grow and assist with sales and service.\u00a0 Patrick and Brant hit the ground running, they understand our mission.\u00a0 I love to see their energy and enthusiasm.\u00a0 And I was excited to hire local graduates from a strategic partner, UTC.\u201d<i><\/i><\/p>\n<p>Sutton learned quickly that the Committee\u2019s efforts affect much more than the sports community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur office plays a huge role in bringing people to Chattanooga for the first time for an athletics event.\u00a0 When they have a good experience, they want to come back for a vacation.\u00a0 We help them take the first step toward making our city a travel destination,\u201d Sutton said.<\/p>\n<p>Donlon, of Cleveland, Tennessee, is Sports Services Manager.\u00a0 He delivers what the clients need by planning their events with them and making sure everything runs smoothly during the events.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always been a detail-oriented person.\u00a0 In my classes at UTC, all the faculty from Health and Human Performance really encouraged us to stay on top of details and think creatively, two very important parts of my job,\u201d Donlon explained.<\/p>\n<p>He is working with United States Tennis Association in Tennessee, planning the junior team tennis championships in Chattanooga.\u00a0 He\u2019s also excited about plans for the Ironman\u2014the triathlon coming to Chattanooga in September.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love my job!\u00a0 After one week as an intern, I thought if there was any way I could work at the Chattanooga Sports Committee I would jump at the chance.\u00a0 It was a no-brainer,\u201d Donlon said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UTC alumni Patrick Sutton and Brant Donlon are teaming up for
