On Wednesday, December 11, 2013, CoreNet Global New York City Chapter members attended “A Private Tour: 9/11 Museum and Memorial” at 4 World Trade Center. This CoreNet Workshop featured a private hard hat construction tour of the Memorial site with James Connors, Executive Vice President of Operations of the National September 11 Memorial and Museum. Mr. Connors provided insight on the construction and completion of the Memorial’s twin reflecting pools, which feature the largest manmade waterfalls in North America, and the Museum’s 110,000 square foot exhibit space. “September 11th is the largest collective event in history – the museum is meant to bring you back to that day,” he explained.
Following the guided tour through the site, members were give exclusive access to explore the Memorial and Museum, examining the implication September 11 had on America, New York and the City’s famous skyline.
