2001 National Travel Seminar Class Diary

March 20, 2001

The United Nations

New York City
The last day of the IALP Class 2002 National Travel seminar started early Tuesday, March 20. Matt Hughes, Matt Bennett, Matt Foes, Steve Hawkins, Bill Leigh, Tim Seifert, Ron Tombaugh and Gary Shupe managed to get their smiling faces on NBC’s "The Today Show". Renegade Dan Meyer (better known to the group as Lieutenant Dan) was seen on ABC’s "Good Morning America".

One of the stops on the UN Tour was the Security Council meeting room.

On a more serious note, Philip Morris International sponsored an informative and sobering visit to the United Nations (UN). The visit was an additional reminder to the class that the world is a very complex place. The UN continues to provide stability in unstable situations.

Dan Martz, Philip Morris manager of planning and programs discussed world trade issues and global warming. The session continued the theme we’ve heard throughout the trip—be involved in leadership to help propagate cooperation in legislative, environmental and social issues.

Class members hustled back to the hotel and loaded bags onto a bus. One last mad dash to find a hot dog street vendor and we were headed for LaGuardia. Chairmen of the day Chuck Weber, Todd West and Dale Clary corralled bags and herded the group toward Gate C10.
