2.) You do not need to be a HSMAI New York Chapter Member to apply, however, we strongly recommend you to apply for the student membership.
3.) You will need to email Alicia Ngai (alicia.ngai@mail.citytech.cuny.edu) and copy Jennifer Lin(jennifer.lin@mail.citytech.cuny.edu) your application for the positions. This means to include the email subject as “Vacant Executive Board Position – X” , where the “X” is the position you are applying for. Also, attach a resume and, if possible, your upcoming Spring 2016 course(s) schedule. If you are working during the Spring Semester, please include your work schedule as well.Finally, include at least a one paragraph statement as to why you believe you should be selected for the particular vacant position (do not exceed two paragraphs).
4.) You will be provided with multiple interview days between Dec 8th and 12th, which you will have to select a day and time for the interview. These interviews will be held as group interviews, which means you will be interviewed by multiple Executive Board members at the same time alongside inducted members interested in the same position. It is recommended that each applicant brings 3 to 5 copies of their resume and schedule to their interview.

5.) We will provide an e-mail to each candidate notifying you if you have been accepted or not for the position you applied for. You will be recommended to a committee or leadership position if you are not selected. We recommend that each candidate continue to be active within the association, whether accepted or not.

We encourage all members to apply for a Vacant Executive Board Position because this will help you build your teamwork skills, leadership skills and help you build a stronger and more competitive resume. Furthermore, if you apply for a board position, you have nothing to lose because you will always develop more skills through this process and you will be recommended to a committee if you don’t get any position.

Once again, we want to wish everyone good luck with the applications! We are looking forward to your applications, interviews and acceptances into the positions and please spread the message to fellow inducted members. HSMAI City Tech would like to wish you the best upon your future endeavors!

Place Based Learning Activity

I hope that our visit to the Brooklyn Waterfront yesterday was a positive learning experience for you. To finalize learning activity I ask that each group post to the OL using the category “Brooklyn Bridge Park Submission”. The following should be included:

– Area of tourism for your group
– Name of people in your group
– Definition of your area of tourism
– Five significant activities relevant to your area of tourism that can happen on the Brooklyn Waterfront
– What you learned about your area of tourism as it relates to the learning activity
– Your observations from your time at the Brooklyn Bridge Park and Brooklyn Roasting Company

United Nations Sustainable Development Summit

Tourism is of world wide interest and brings great economic benefit. I viewed a number of the videos that are available on The United Nation’s Sustainable Development Summit and thought I would share them with you. I hope these issues make you think and act.
