SUMMARY:"Global Nashville" | Guest Host Ralph Schulz with Convention and Visitor Chief Butch Spyridon
DESCRIPTION:The Tennessee World Affairs Council \n\n\n\nin association with \nBelmont University Center for International Business and the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce \nGlobal Nashville\nGuest Host Ralph Schulz in Conversation with Butch Spyridon\nA conversation about Nashville’s “global brand” and the importance of tourism in building international bridges. \n \nButch Spyridon\, President/CEO\, Nashville Convention and Visitors Corp. \n \nRalph Schulz\, President/CEO\, Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce \n\n\nAugust 31\, 2021 @ 7 pm CT\n\n\n\n\n“Global Nashville” | Guest Host Ralph Schulz with Butch Spyridon\, Nashville Visitor Leader\n \nThe metrics were clear before the pandemic crushed global hospitality. Nashville and Tennessee were experiencing a boom in the tourism sector. The #1 leisure destination in the United States\, according to Global Traveler’s Leisure Lifestyle Awards. Reader’s Choice Award for Best Cities in the U.S.\, according to Conde Nast. A record-high $23 billion in visitor spending in the state in 2019 and trending higher\, according to the U.S. Travel Association. Travel in Tennessee generated 195\,000 jobs and $1.92 billion in state and local tax revenue — saving Tennesseans in costs for public services. \nNashville’s attraction to visitors is global. The daily attraction of world-class music venues\, cultural activities\, sporting events and more\, not to mention the city’s mega-events are magnets for foreign visitors. Among the main industries that drive the economy\, tourism is emblematic of international outreach and bridge building among the tens of thousands of foreign visitors who come to Tennessee and Nashville. \nThe Nashville Convention and Visitors Corp. web site says it all: \nMusic is the universal language. Nashville – where music is inspired\, created\, recorded and performed. Music City is ready to be explored. Experience more music\, food\, and fashion than ever before. All are welcome to Music City! \nJoin us on August 31st at 7pm for our discussion\, and your questions\, as Nashville’s Chamber President Ralph Schulz asks Nashville’s visitor majordomo\, Butch Spyridon\, about the health of the region’s hospitality industry and the contribution of tourism to Nashville’s brand. \n\n\nButch Spyridon\nPresident/CEO\, Nashville Convention and Visitors Corporation (NCVC)\n\nButch Spyridon has served as president and CEO of the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corporation (NCVC) since 1991. Under his leadership\, Nashville’s hospitality industry has evolved from an industry largely based on theme park and summer leisure travel\, to a year-round destination for convention\, business and leisure visitors. Hospitality’s evolution has made it the city’s second largest industry and elevated annual revenues to $4 billion. \nSpyridon has guided the industry through many challenging times. In the early 1990s\, Branson\, Missouri’s budding music draw put an undo public relations pressure on Nashville\, long-known has a haven for country music talent. Spyridon and the industry collaborated throughout the challenge by embracing the city’s diverse music community and growing its profile as a meeting destination. \nIn the decade following\, Spyridon would lead the industry through the closing of Nashville’s famed Opryland theme park\, a devastating downtown tornado\, and the national tragedy of 9-11. With each challenge\, Spyridon and the industry seized the opportunity to assess\, examine\, and plan ahead for growth.  And with each challenge Nashville emerged as a better destination and recovered quicker than its peer markets. \nThat planning prompted Spyridon and the NCVC to develop new and innovative marketing strategies to grow sales\, including establishing city-wide events like Nashville’s July 4th and New Year’s Eve celebrations. Spyridon also worked within the community to transform signature events\, such as the CMA Music Festival\, making them more appealing to a wider audience and increasing their capacity to host more visitors. \nIn 2006\, Spyridon spearheaded Nashville’s first-ever\, city-wide branding initiative to grow the image of Nashville as Music City. In support of the initiative\, Spyridon and the NCVC created “Heroes Behind the Hits\,” a monthly show on Sirius XM Radio featuring Nashville songwriters\, established the Music City Walk of Fame\, and developed a multi-faceted Live Music Venue campaign. Initiatives such as these have helped to keep Nashvillein the top 25 hotel markets nationwide. \nSpyridon most recently championed the construction of the Music City Center\, new downtown convention center and headquarter hotel.

Reader’s Choice Award for Best Cities in the U.S.\, according to Conde Nast. A record-high $23 billion in visitor spending in the state in 2019 and trending higher\, according to the U.S. Travel Association. Travel in Tennessee generated 195\,000 jobs and $1.92 billion in state and local tax revenue — saving Tennesseans in costs for public services. \nNashville’s attraction to visitors is global. The daily attraction of world-class music venues\, cultural activities\, sporting events and more\, not to mention the city’s mega-events are magnets for foreign visitors. Among the main industries that drive the economy\, tourism is emblematic of international outreach and bridge building among the tens of thousands of foreign visitors who come to Tennessee and Nashville. \nThe Nashville Convention and Visitors Corp. web site says it all: \nMusic is the universal language.

With each challenge\, Spyridon and the industry seized the opportunity to assess\, examine\, and plan ahead for growth.  And with each challenge Nashville emerged as a better destination and recovered quicker than its peer markets. \nThat planning prompted Spyridon and the NCVC to develop new and innovative marketing strategies to grow sales\, including establishing city-wide events like Nashville’s July 4th and New Year’s Eve celebrations.

SUMMARY:Global Dialogue | The Power of Diplomacy | Marshall | Jun 1
DESCRIPTION:The Tennessee World Affairs Council\n\nin association with\nBelmont University Center for International Business and the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce present\nGlobal Dialogue\nThe Power of Diplomacy\n \nwith\nAmbassador Capricia Penavic Marshall\nAmbassador-in-Residence\, Atlantic Council and Former Chief of Protocol of the United States at the White House and Author of “Protocol: The Power of Diplomacy”\n\n\n \nWith Host\n \n\nKelly O’Connor\, CFRE\nMember of the Board\, Tennessee World Affairs Council\nJun 1\, 2021 @ 7 pm CT\nGlobal Dialogue | The Power of Diplomacy | Marshall | Jun 1\n \n\n\n\n\n \nChief of Protocol of the United States \nThe body of law\, customs and practices governing diplomatic conduct is called protocol. It is derived from the Greek words proto (first) and collon (glued)\, meaning that the first page of a manuscript\, often serving as a summary of a treaty or diplomatic dispatch\, must be glued to the outside of the document or volume. \nThe State Department first appointed a full-time protocol officer in 1916 and established the Office of the Chief of Protocol on February 4\, 1928. In 1946\, the President commissioned the State Department’s Chief of Protocol to also carry the title “Chief of Protocol of the White House.” Since 1961\, the Chief of Protocol has been commissioned an Ambassador\, requiring the President’s nominee to be confirmed by the Senate. \n\nProtocol: The Power of Diplomacy and How to Make it Work for you\n\nPresident Obama’s former United States chief of protocol looks at why diplomacy and etiquette matter—from the international stage to everyday life. \nHistory often appears to consist of big gestures and dramatic shifts. But for every peace treaty signed\, someone set the stage\, using hidden influence to effect the outcome. In her roles as chief of protocol for President Barack Obama and social secretary to President Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary Clinton\, Capricia Penavic Marshall not only bore witness to history\, she facilitated it. From arranging a room to have an intended impact on the participants to knowing which cultural gestures earned trust\, her behind-the scenes preparations laid the groundwork for successful diplomacy between heads of state around the world and tilted the playing field in her team’s favor. \nIf there’s one thing that working at the highest levels of government for over two decades has taught Marshall\, it’s that there is power in detail and nuance—the micro-moves that affect the macro-shifts. When seemingly minor aspects of an engagement go missing or awry—a botched greeting or even a poorly chosen menu—it alters the emotions and tenor of an exchange\, setting up obstacles rather than paving a way forward. In some cases\, an oversight may put the entire endeavor in jeopardy. \nSharing unvarnished anecdotes from her time in office—harrowing near misses\, exhilarating triumphs\, heartwarming personal stories—Marshall  brings us a master class in soft power\, unveiling the complexity of human interactions and making the case that etiquette\, cultural IQ\, and a flexible mind-set matter now more than ever. When the notion of basic civility seems to be endangered\, Protocol reminds us how critical these principles are while providing an accessible guide for anyone who wants to be empowered by the tools of diplomacy in work and everyday life. \n–Amazon.com \n\n\nAmbassador Capricia Penavic Marshall \nCapricia Penavic Marshall serves as Ambassador-in-Residence at the Atlantic Council  in Washington\, DC. She is President of Global Engagement Strategies\, which advises international public and private clients on issues relating to the nexus of business and cultural diplomacy. She travels across the country speaking to organizations and corporations about her experiences\, lessons she has learned throughout her career in public service\, and how best to integrate cultural diplomacy into business. \nFrom 2009 to 2013\, she was Chief of Protocol of the United States\, bearing the rank of Ambassador and setting the stage for diplomacy at the highest levels. In this capacity\, she worked to leverage U.S. relationships with foreign governments developing strategies to transform global engagement. Ms. Marshall oversaw six State and Official Visits\, countless Working Visits\, the G20\, Nuclear Security\, APEC\, G8\, NATO and Sunnylands Summits\, and the protocol arrangements during travel with the President and Secretaries of State to forty-two countries. Moving beyond traditional methods of engagement\, Ms. Marshall fostered international goodwill through a new division in the protocol office\, Diplomatic Partnerships. With creative programming under this division she created sustained\, mutually beneficial partnerships between the foreign Diplomatic Corps and business\, government and community leaders across America. \nFrom 1997 to 2001\, Ms. Marshall served as Deputy Assistant to the President and White House Social Secretary. From 1993 to 1997\, she was Special Assistant to the First Lady of the United States\, Hillary Rodham Clinton. In addition to her Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science from Purdue University\, Ms. Marshall holds a Juris Doctor from Case Western Reserve University School of Law\, where she received the prestigious Society of Benchers award in 2012. \nMs. Marshall is a first-generation American of Croatian and Mexican descent. In 2013\, she was awarded the Distinguished Service Award from the Secretary of State and the Order of the Cross of Isabel La Católica from the Ambassador of Spain. She is a member of the Council of American Ambassadors. She has been named to ELLE magazine’s annual “Washington Power List\,” as one of DC’s most influential women. Ms Marshall is currently serves on the boards of the Case Western University International Advisory Board\, The Strategic Planning Board\, The Blair House Restoration Fund and The Council of American Ambassadors. \nHost Kelly O’Connor\, CFRE \nWith more than 20 years of nonprofit expertise\, K.

SUMMARY:Global Dialogue | The Power of Diplomacy | Marshall | Jun 1
DESCRIPTION:The Tennessee World Affairs Council\n\nin association with\nBelmont University Center for International Business and the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce present\nGlobal Dialogue\nThe Power of Diplomacy\n \nwith\nAmbassador Capricia Penavic Marshall\nAmbassador-in-Residence\, Atlantic Council and Former Chief of Protocol of the United States at the White House and Author of “Protocol: The Power of Diplomacy”\n\n\n \nWith Host\n \n\nKelly O’Connor\, CFRE\nMember of the Board\, Tennessee World Affairs Council\nJun 1\, 2021 @ 7 pm CT\nGlobal Dialogue | The Power of Diplomacy | Marshall | Jun 1\n \n\n\n\n\n \nChief of Protocol of the United States \nThe body of law\, customs and practices governing diplomatic conduct is called protocol. It is derived from the Greek words proto (first) and collon (glued)\, meaning that the first page of a manuscript\, often serving as a summary of a treaty or diplomatic dispatch\, must be glued to the outside of the document or volume. \nThe State Department first appointed a full-time protocol officer in 1916 and established the Office of the Chief of Protocol on February 4\, 1928. In 1946\, the President commissioned the State Department’s Chief of Protocol to also carry the title “Chief of Protocol of the White House.” Since 1961\, the Chief of Protocol has been commissioned an Ambassador\, requiring the President’s nominee to be confirmed by the Senate. \n\nProtocol: The Power of Diplomacy and How to Make it Work for you\n\nPresident Obama’s former United States chief of protocol looks at why diplomacy and etiquette matter—from the international stage to everyday life. \nHistory often appears to consist of big gestures and dramatic shifts. But for every peace treaty signed\, someone set the stage\, using hidden influence to effect the outcome. In her roles as chief of protocol for President Barack Obama and social secretary to President Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary Clinton\, Capricia Penavic Marshall not only bore witness to history\, she facilitated it. From arranging a room to have an intended impact on the participants to knowing which cultural gestures earned trust\, her behind-the scenes preparations laid the groundwork for successful diplomacy between heads of state around the world and tilted the playing field in her team’s favor. \nIf there’s one thing that working at the highest levels of government for over two decades has taught Marshall\, it’s that there is power in detail and nuance—the micro-moves that affect the macro-shifts. When seemingly minor aspects of an engagement go missing or awry—a botched greeting or even a poorly chosen menu—it alters the emotions and tenor of an exchange\, setting up obstacles rather than paving a way forward. In some cases\, an oversight may put the entire endeavor in jeopardy. \nSharing unvarnished anecdotes from her time in office—harrowing near misses\, exhilarating triumphs\, heartwarming personal stories—Marshall  brings us a master class in soft power\, unveiling the complexity of human interactions and making the case that etiquette\, cultural IQ\, and a flexible mind-set matter now more than ever. When the notion of basic civility seems to be endangered\, Protocol reminds us how critical these principles are while providing an accessible guide for anyone who wants to be empowered by the tools of diplomacy in work and everyday life. \n–Amazon.com \n\n\nAmbassador Capricia Penavic Marshall \nCapricia Penavic Marshall serves as Ambassador-in-Residence at the Atlantic Council  in Washington\, DC. She is President of Global Engagement Strategies\, which advises international public and private clients on issues relating to the nexus of business and cultural diplomacy.
