On May 22, 2023 the TMA NYC NOW committee hosted the Mystery, Magic and Cocktails event which was the first NOW event of the year for NYC and also the kickoff event before the annual TMA NOW Summit. Molly Jobe, Director at CohnReznick and Chair of the event commented that “the TMA NY NOW Committee wanted to welcome attendees of the TMA NOW Summit with a true NYC venue and event. After looking at over 14 venues including rooftops to well-known NYC institutions to museums, the committee selected Madame George, a subterranean cocktail lounge near the TMA Summit venue. Madame George provided the old-school New York speakeasy feel with a whimsical and feminine touch to welcome women and our allies from all over the world. To amplify the speakeasy theme and also encourage networking, the committee also brought in a magician/mentalist and tarot card readers to entertain the attendees”.
The following day, the TMA NOW Summit was held at the offices of McDermott Will & Emery in NYC. The TMA NOW Summit is an annual event held in the Spring that consists of a one-day program, providing substantive professional development programming and networking opportunities to career growth and help women break through the glass ceiling.
Jeanine Krattiger, Managing Director at Carl Marks, commented “I am thrilled to have been part of the TMA NOW planning committee for this year’s amazing NOW Summit. The teamwork and collaboration throughout the planning process exemplified the passion, resilience, and unwavering dedication the women of TMA have for creating a successful and impactful event”.
