Dear TTMA Members & Colleagues,
The 2011 Board of Directors met Wednesday, November 2 at the House of Blues in West Hollywood. The meeting was followed by the monthly luncheon and mixer in the exotic Foundation Room. Guest speaker Jason Chiang from the West Hollywood CVB shared news of the ever-changing hotel/restaurant/nightlife scene, and gave a fascinating presentation on WeHo’s successful and innovative use of social media.
