‘Imiloa Astronomy Center, Hilo, Hawai`i
This past Tuesday, May 13, 2008, the Team from the UH Hilo Conference Center participated in the HTA Festivals & Events Seminar.
Muriel Anderson flew over from Honolulu to host the event which featured speakers Dan McConnell, Managing Director of DDB Public Relations; Ed Struzik, 2008 President of the Gilroy Garlic Festival; and Joe Vera, President & CEO of the BorderFest.
During the Breakout Sessions, our very own Assistant Director, Mary Ann Tsuchiyama, delivered a presentation entitled: “Operation 101: Mission Impossible…or Mission Possible.” The PowerPoint kicked off with the backing soundtrack of the movie which set the stage for the action-packed theme of putting on a successful event. A short clip of her preso is available on YouTube.
