The New York metro chapter of the International Special Events Society (ISES) hosted its annual Big Apple awards gala yesterday. The gala, which featured a “Feelin’ Groovy” theme, was held in the United Nations' Delegates Dining Room and was cochaired by ISES’ co-vice presidents of programs, Jennifer Quinones and Trey Moynihan.
