Recently\, she was nominated as one of the “Smart Women in Meetings” by Smart Meetings magazine. \n  \nTracy Vessillo – President\,  Puff ‘n Stuff Catering \nTracy spent his first years with Compass Group as an Executive Chef for Flik International providing service to many prestigious firms in New York City. His well rounded culinary background is what gave Tracy the platform to grow from Executive Chef to Foodservice Director to District Manager in a short period of time. From here\, he was given the rewarding task of leading operations for disaster relief services when many folks were left without food and shelter as a result of Hurricanes Katrina\, Rita and Wilma. With a successful outcome\, Tracy was given the role of Vice President for Outtakes\, Compass’ retail business solution. Growing that business $80M in two short years\, Tracy was then given the responsibility of all retail development and operations\, representing $500M for Compass Group. \nCompass then asked Tracy to take over their Eurest\, B&I division in the Gulf States. As a regional vice president\, Tracy grew that revenue from $53M to $98M in 3 short years. In May of 2017\, he moved to Los Angeles to take over as president of Wolfgang Puck Catering. Tracy put $50M in the new business pipeline for Wolfgang just before Covid hit. Since then\, $35M of the $50M has been closed on. The diverse and successful path of Tracy’s career gives him the pleasure of taking on a president’s role with Puff n’ Stuff Catering where he is ready to continue his positive influence on revenue growth\, team building and overall leadership. \n  \nEric Blanc\, CMP –  Deputy Director\, Orange County Convention Center \nEric Blanc\, Sr.\, CMP is the Orange County Convention Center’s (OCCC) Deputy Director of Sales\, Marketing\, Event Management and Exhibitor Services.

This panel of experts will discuss ways to investigate impacts\, current policies\, and opportunities to incorporate social offsets to help you navigate decisions for future events. \n  \nThriving in Uncertainty with Beth Surmont\, CMP-Fellow \nIf the past few years have taught us anything\, it is that we can’t control what is going to happen\, but we can control our response to it. Exponential changes in technology combined with accelerated trends\, economic factors\, and mixed with shifts in behaviors all make for a complicated and unstable environment. The playbooks we’ve used no longer work as well; and the expectations of our audiences\, our partners\, and our organizations are higher than ever. Those who are waiting for things to go back to how they were will be left behind. The successful ones will learn how to look at the world differently\, measure risk in new ways\, and create flexible systems\, leaving them prepared to face whatever may come. \nBeth Surmont\, Vice President of Event Strategy & Design for 360 Live Media\, will share perspective on new event trends\, changing audience behaviors\, and how you can best prepare your team to manage uncertainty and position your organization for success. \n  \nCOMMUNITY SERVICE: \nThe PCMA Southeast Chapter supports youth education through literacy. As a part of our community service initiative in Orlando\, FL the PCMASE chapter will be donating books to the New Image Youth Center\, an after school and summer program for at-risk students in the Parramore neighborhood in Orlando\, FL. We ask that you bring 1-2 new or lightly used books for a K-12th grade reading level for donation. We suggest considering one of the 874 book titles that were banned in 2022 or one of the 11 most banned books of the 2022-2023 school year. \n  \nRecent Messaging on Travel Advisories: \nVisit Orlando \nOrlando has always been and will continue to be a diverse\, welcoming and inclusive community.   As the top travel destination in the country and longstanding leader in the travel industry\, our community has a history of welcoming all to our destination.   \nTravel and tourism positively impacts our community and plays a valuable role in ongoing engagement and dialogue. Visit Orlando will continue to encourage travel to our destination to drive progress and support hard-working small businesses.  \n  \nOrange County Mayor Jerry L. Demings \n“Orange County is open for business. Our residents represent a broad diaspora of cultures\, which makes us stronger as a society.  Please be assured our community values diversity and embraces inclusion. Hate is never welcome here. We look forward to working with the NAACP to reassure them and others that Orange County is a caring\, compassionate and welcoming community.” \nA joint statement was made Monday\, May 22nd by prominent black travel groups in regard to the travel advisory. \nBlack travel and tourism advocacy groups\, however\, say the advisory will hurt the people it’s supposed to help. By deterring travel\, Black travel and tourism businesses and underserved communities will lose out on visitors and spending\, said Future of Black Tourism\, Blacks in Travel & Tourism and the Black Travel Alliance in a joint statement on Monday. \n“We believe there is a better way to make a statement to [Florida Governor Ron DeSantis] beyond a travel advisory petitioning African Americans and people of color to stay away from Florida\,” the groups said. “Small Black businesses and marginalized communities certainly should not be the sacrificial lamb.” \nOur most diverse groups make up the heart and soul of our hospitality industry\, we want to ensure we as Orlando can continue to promote our cities uniquely diverse communities to those who share those same values. \n  URL:https://www.pcma.org/event/pcma-southeast-chapter-2-day-education-meeting/ LOCATION:Double Tree by Hilton Orlando at SeaWorld\, 10100 International Drive\, Orlando\, FL CATEGORIES:• Education,• Networking,• Southeast ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.pcma.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Doubletree-image-NYawRY.tmp_.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20230720T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20230720T103000 DTSTAMP:20260403T144255 CREATED:20230602T220025Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230720T223110Z UID:187567-1689840000-1689849000@www.pcma.org SUMMARY:Uniting in Utah with Rocky Mountain PCMA DESCRIPTION:Join the Rocky Mountain PCMA Chapter for a behind the scenes tour at Utah’s Hogle Zoo.

Many jobs will be eliminated\, many will be made vastly more efficient\, and most will evolve in a significant capacity.
