    Position Overview Meet Ac Chief Executive Officer (Atlantic City, Nj)

    POSITION OVERVIEW MEET AC CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER (ATLANTIC CITY, NJ) THE OPPORTUNITY SearchWide, in conjunction with Strategic Advisory Group, is pleased to be engaged to support Meet AC and the Atlantic City tourism industry in the recruitment and strategic support of a new leadership opportunity in an exciting newly formed corporation. Meet AC has combined the resources of SearchWide and SAG to provide a comprehensive approach to supporting a new leader in the conventions, meetings and group tour areas of Atlantic City tourism. The opportunity to be a “founding CEO” of a new corporation with broad based industry support is ideal for a leader who has interest in leading a re-focused effort in a high profile destination. ABOUT THE DESTINATION Atlantic City offers something for everyone. From the boardwalk to the bay, this great city has become a world-class destination and a "must see" attraction for millions of visitors annually. From fine dining and entertainment, to a wide array of shopping and, of course, casino excitement...it’s "always turned on"! Atlantic City is in the heart of the Northeast, it’s approximately 100 miles from New York, less than 300 miles from Boston, less than 60 miles from Philadelphia and 150 miles from Washington, D.C. This gives meeting planners access to a huge market of potential attendees, exhibitors and customers. Atlantic City was a fishing village until the construction in 1854 of a railroad that made it a fashionable resort for Philadelphians and New Yorkers. The first boardwalk was built in 1870. Atlantic City's chief industry is tourism, with more than 30 million visitors annually.

    Friendly Fire, We’Ll Skipper a Cake of Soap in the Bathtub of Our Show, As We Discuss the 1944 John Ford Classic, They Were Expendable

    Note: This show periodically replaces their ad breaks with new promotional clips. Because of this, both the transcription for the clips and the timestamps after them may be inaccurate at the time of viewing this transcript. 00:00:00 Music Music Old-fashioned sounding, exciting war music. 00:00:02 Ben Harrison Host You get the sense with some war movies that the war itself isn’t a good enough motivation for some soldiers. They’re there for the adrenaline, or the camaraderie, or to avoid something back at home. But a different, no less strong motivation comes to the fore in They Were Expendable: being underestimated. It’s easy to forget that there was a time when PT boats weren’t inextricably linked to the image of John Fitzgerald Kennedy [JFK impression] ripping through the coastal waters while wearing his Ray Bans and singlehandedly sinking a line of Japanese cruisers. There was a time when the PT boat was maligned. I mean, look at those things. Are you kidding me? 00:00:41 Ben Host And this film is chock full of sailors who are absolutely champing at the bit to go to war, except they’re saddled with what their leadership sees as glorified pontoon party boats. John Wayne’s character, Rusty Ryan, can’t deal with this derision. So he prepares his papers to transfer elsewhere. Trouble is, when your request is dated December 7th, 1941, a person can assume it’s not going to be a priority for those in charge. Everyone in this Philippines-based PT boat squadron assumes that now, this will be their time to prove their worth, but after being relegated to messenger duty, morale crashes and their hopes of their craft being used in combat fade.
