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. The Boardwalk, lined with casinos, hotels, shops, and amusements, is 6 miles long. The heyday for Atlantic City as a beach resort lasted through the first half of the 20th century, when it fell out of favor. Atlantic City was revived after a statewide referendum in 1976 legalized casino gambling in the city, and casinos began popping up along the boardwalk and in the Marina District in 1978. Atlantic City has a large convention center. The Democratic national convention took place in the city in 1964, and the Miss America Pageant was held there annually from 1921 to 2005. Absecon Lighthouse, in operation 1854–1932, attracts tourists. The first Ferris wheel was built in Atlantic City in 1869. The board game Monopoly, which makes use of area street names, was invented here in 1930. In 2012 the city suffered significant flooding from Hurricane Sandy.

SearchWide™ Position Overview – Chief Executive Officer Position, MEET AC Page 3 of 7 CONVENTION COMPLEXES Since opening with much anticipation and fanfare on May 1, 1997, the Atlantic City Convention Center has become "Your Northeast Business Address", hosting a wide array of premier events from large public shows, conventions and trade shows, to meetings and conferences. The facility contains 500,000 contiguous square feet of space and occupies a site of nearly 31 acres, making it one of the East Coast's largest Convention Centers. Five spacious exhibit halls are located on the building's second level, ranging in size from 29,400 square feet to 199,500 square feet. The rooms can be contracted individually, adjoined or easily configured to meet a client's needs. Hall A, at 29,400 square feet, can be transformed into a ballroom or banquet hall. The Center's 45 meeting rooms surround the expansive atrium lobby and total 109,100 square feet. Room dimensions range from 11,880 square feet to 672 square feet. The rooms' amenities include soundproof panels, assisted listening systems and voice, video and data communications capabilities. Historic Boardwalk Hall, which first opened in 1929, underwent a three year, $90 million renovation to transform the building into a modern special events arena capable of variable seating for up to 14,770 people. Boardwalk Hall events include sporting events such as tennis and basketball, boxing, ice skating and ice hockey, as well as orchestras, theatre and concerts featuring some of the music industry's most popular artists. Listed on the National Register of Historic Landmarks, Boardwalk Hall's renovation produced a glimpse into the dramatic and original Roman Renaissance style, while providing a 21st century experience in terms of comfort and amenities. Upon its reopening in 2001, it has been recognized as the destination’s premier entertainment venue, known for high profile concerts, family shows, and sporting events. INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT ATLANTIC CITY . Historical fact: The first Miss America pageant took place in Atlantic City in 1921 and the city hosted the event until 2005 and it returned this year. The Miss America pageant was held in Boardwalk Hall (formerly called Convention Hall), which currently holds the World’s largest pipe organ. Random fact: "The Chaperone" Seinfeld episode, where Jerry mistakenly kills Miss Rhode Island's doves for her magic act in the Miss America pageant, is partially based in Atlantic City.

  • 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.
