Director’s Note

Hi Friends,
 
This time of the year in New Haven brings such beauty as the foliage paints the world around us in vibrant reds, yellows, and oranges. The changing of the leaves reminds us that change is inevitable and can be a beautiful thing. Yale Conferences & Events recently stepped away from our day-to-day tasks to connect with one another at our annual staff retreat. We celebrated the small wins and reflected on the changes we experienced in the previous year. Get a glimpse inside our staff retreat below. 
 
The leaves falling from the trees also shows us how beautiful it can be to let things go. Enjoy the season and all the festivities that come with it! 
 
With best wishes,
 
Suzanne 
Executive Director

Retreat by the sea 

The Yale Conferences & Events team gathered at the Madison Beach Hotel last week for a staff retreat by the sea. Each fall, we come together for an all-day “meeting of the minds” to discuss what’s happened in the past year and what’s to come in the year ahead. We also participated in a bit of friendly competition!
