Following its April debut after a multimillion dollar renovation, the Liaison Capitol Hill on Monday opened Art and Soul, its new restaurant, and ArtBar, an adjoining lounge.

The property offers a combined 10,000 square feet of meeting space comprised of 10 rooms, most of which are located on the lobby level. The 4,400-square-foot Metropolitan ballroom can be divided into three rooms and accommodates as many as 500 guests theater style or for receptions. The second largest ballroom, the Hill, is 1,600 square feet and can be combined with two other meeting rooms. The entire space—which includes three additional meeting rooms, and a centralized pre-function area—can be combined to accommodate as many as 800 people. The second-floor meeting space offers three executive boardrooms, each with a flat-screen TV, kitchenette, and private bathroom. MORE >>

Hisaoka Staffers Move to Yoga Alliance, Liaison Capitol Hill

Danielle Tergis

After five years as the promotions and marketing manager of the D.C.-based Hisaoka Public Relations, Danielle Tergis began a new job this week as director of marketing and communications for Yoga Alliance, a group of more than 18,000 registered yoga teachers and schools.

Tergis earned a graduate degree in marketing from Johns Hopkins University this winter, giving her a leg up for the new post, where she handles branding, promotional tools, and media relations. She will also be planning events to mark the alliance’s 10th anniversary in 2009, as well as developing public relations efforts for Yoga Day USA, a day of activities promoting the sport throughout the country.

“I went back to school because I was interested in moving into more of an integrated marketing role,” Tergis explained. “The [new] position was the perfect opportunity to combine my passion for marketing and my love for yoga." MORE >>
