So today we went to the ISES Membership Luncheon. I was not able to take photos because I broke the screen of my phone and the tape holding it together happens to be covering the lens. That will be fixed pronto! The theme of the meeting was "Hot in Cleveland", where influential members of the board talked about the upcoming Senior Games and Gay Games that Cleveland will be hosting. They mainly talked about the new convention center and how it would be utilized. They also talked about the need for a more hotels and central hub that could hold 700 to 800 rooms so that eventually Cleveland will be able to compete with 2nd tier cities. A woman from Playhouse Square was also there and she talked about how Cleveland holds the largest amount of Broadway members than any other city in the US, which is extremely impressive since our main competitor is New York City. Cleveland is definitely an up and coming city with its new casinos, hotels, convention center, and booming new restaurant industry. It seems that Cleveland will only prosper from here and that it will be a hot and great place to live in years to come.
After that meeting we cleaned out and organized her office. We did some other busy work but nothing too exciting. I am really enjoying the business aspect of this internship. I like being able to socialize and network with all these fantastic people. They have truly built an interesting and fabulous empire that our generation can definitely build off of. The party scene is booming and people love it here in Cleveland!
