BOARD OF GOVERNORS
ANNUAL MEETING, JANUARY 8, 2025
ELECTED FOR THE THREE-YEAR TERM, CLASS OF 2027
Collectors Club Nominating Committee:

The Collectors Club is at 58 West 40th Street, Mezzanine level, New York, NY 10018. This places us on 40th Street, between 5th and 6th Avenues. Byrant Park is directly across the street from us, and we are diagonally across from the New York Public Library. We are very close to all forms of public transportation.
Bryant Park is a gem in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, offering visitors a serene green space. Here is your guide to the best hotels and food options in the Bryant Park area. Byrant Park is bound by 40th and 42nd streets, 6th Avenue, and the rear of the New York Public Library.
Only two US cities have more hotel rooms than NYC: Las Vegas and Orlando.
Prices though, range from very high numbers for 5-star hotels to more moderate figures. There is a huge variety of hotels nearby, and prices can be quite variable. If you do not immediately find a room at your desired price level, our recommendation is to continue your search. Moderately priced rooms are available.
Plus, there are about 30 other Hilton, Marriott, IHG, and Hyatt properties in various price ranges.
The NYC subway system is the most efficient way to travel around the city. It operates 24/7 and connects all five boroughs. Get a MetroCard, which can be purchased and refilled at most stations. If your smartphone is enabled correctly, it can also be used to pay your subway and bus fares. Use of the maps within your smartphone can make the use of buses and subways easy. Public transportation is the fastest way around town and is much safer than you may think.
NYC is a pedestrian-friendly city. Many of its most famous neighborhoods, like SoHo, the West Village, and Midtown, are best explored on foot.
Hailing a yellow cab is a classic New York experience, but ridesharing services like Uber and Lyft are also widely available.
We hope that your visit to our city will be fun and enjoyable.
