Hi Everyone!
Just wanted to share this from NY ASTA's YPS

NYASTA Young Professionals Society (YPS) – Thursday, March 10th

Calling all advisors 40-ish and younger to join us for our first NYASTA Young Professionals Society (YPS) event of the year. We will meet at Dos Caminos for an evening of fun and networking with each other and our sponsor, Grupo Xcaret. They will talk to us about their two great hotels and 11 parks in the Cancun and Riviera Maya corridor. Clients always ask what they can do offsite when spending time in Mexico so come (learn) hear all about some great activities and experiences they offer. We will be serving Mexican fare, margaritas, and sangria and look forward to spending time with you in person this month!

Bring business cards as well - we will raffle off three prizes, including a stay at their newest hotel.

Be sure to register. Your name must be on the list to enter our private event. https://bit.ly/3pdf7IY

The White House has plainly and repeatedly stated that their goal is to get more Americans vaccinated. Let’s talk about how we can accomplish that goal by using travel as an incentive, and not as a punishment. Rescinding the testing requirement for vaccinated citizens would provide consistency and certainty to their travel plans. And by incentivizing those who are not currently vaccinated, in turn it will help the Administration achieve its goal much more quickly. The solution is simple and within our reach: exempt fully vaccinated travelers from the inbound testing requirement now.

Congratulations to our new Young Professionals Society Executive Board. We were able to have our new president elected, but because of the hard work and dedication these YPSers pour into ASTA, we figured it would be best to make a team out of this group! Congratulations once again! Kristina Carter Wheeless, Adriano, and Summer Corbitt
