    Report of the 2012-2013 Local Arrangements Committee, New York, NY July 10, 2013 Chair: Angie Beeman Committee Members: Carolle Charles, Francesca Degiuli, Manissa McCleave Maharawal (graduate student) Rifat Salam, Karen Tejada, and Thomas Volscho Annual Meeting Site: This year’s site visit was held at the Westin New York at Times Square November 15-17, 2012 Site Visit: Angie Beeman was unable to attend the morning site visit in November, but met Michele Koontz, Ricardo Dello Buono, and David Fasenfest for dinner on November 15th. We discussed some ideas on promoting the meetings through social media and email blasts. We also talked about the kinds of tours we should pursue and the best days to schedule them. Angie shared the details of the meeting with the committee and Rifat Salam suggested Big Onion Walking Tours. David, Ricardo, and Angie met again in December and decided on the “Historic Harlem” and “Gay and Lesbian History: Before Stonewall” tours. At that time, we also realized that SSSP had two facebook accounts, which needed to be merged into one. Ricardo further discussed arranging the Maul Girls Reunion Concert. Program: Angie wrote the “Welcome to City” message in late February. The message offered information on popular and lesser known sites in New York City, especially those that might be of interest to conference goers, and highlighted Big Onion Walking tours and sites connected to SSSP’s meetings. Manissa McCleave Maharawal, a CUNY Graduate Center student, wrote a Welcome to the City for graduate students and anyone on a budget. Her message discussed the changes to Times Square over the years and included a detailed list of tasty, inexpensive restaurants and food trucks near the conference hotel as well as dining excursions to Brooklyn.

International borders closed and domestic travel froze. Meetings, conventions and public events were postponed or canceled. Restaurants, retail stores, theaters, cultural institutions and sports arenas shuttered. Hotels closed or transitioned from welcoming guests to housing emergency and frontline workers. While we effectively minimized the spread of Covid-19 in New York City, thousands of our loved ones, friends, neighbors and colleagues have lost their lives to the virus. Our city feels, and is, changed. 2 13 We launched The Coalition for NYC our city’s story anew. As in every great New Hospitality & Tourism Recovery in May York story, the protagonists have a deep 2020 to bring together all sectors of our sense of purpose and must work to achieve visitor economy to drive and aid recovery.
