TRIP COORDINATORS The Assistant Director for Trip Coordination is responsible for overseeing trip coordination, including managing preparation, production and general policies and procedures for Presidential schedules and related trip documents. Responsibilities also include general personnel management of the trip coordinator staff, including hiring, payment schedules and vacation schedules. The Assistant Director also is responsible for planning and managing the trip coordinators schedules and assignments; managing production of schedules for surveys, pre-advances, advances and Presidential trips; determining pre-advance assignments with the staffer conducting the pre-advance; and serving as trip coordinator. B. HOTELS It is important to develop and maintain active relationships and ongoing communications with key contacts in the the hotel industry. Most international and domestic hotel chains have national sales offices in the Washington, D.C., area, and all have someone assigned to attend to the needs of the White House. We also try to maintain good relations with local hotel contacts since we repeatedly visit their hotels for in- town events. Also, you determine hotels used for pre- advance and advance teams, White House staff, and Presidential overnights. This includes making initial reservations and negotiating rack rates. Once this is done, the trip coordinator can write the hotel letter and begin making arrangements with the hotel. III. EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT TO THE DIRECTOR OF ADVANCE - Open and sort mail - Provide liaison with White House staff - Schedule appointments - Perform special projects as needed IV. SPECIAL PROJECTS A. KENNEBUNKPORT The Assistant Director is the chief point of contact with the staff hotel in Kennebunkport, the Nonantum Resort.

WHCA and (B)(7) (e)(f) (cf., Information Book on Kennebunkport, Maine.) B. WHITE HOUSE PHOTOGRAPHS AND INSCRIPTIONS Each Presidential visit generates photographs with various people from the local community who supported the trip. These are called photo opportunities or photo ops, for short and they are arranged by the lead advance at the airport, hotel and various sites during the visit. The lead advance is responsible for submitting a photo contact card to the White House Photo Office during the trip which specifies where the photos are to be sent. (See attached form.) The photo office then mails the photos directly to the contacts listed on the card usually within two weeks following the trip. Included with the photos is a form which gives instructions for having the photos inscribed. If the local contact wants their photos inscribed, he/she returns the photos to the Advance Office for processing. A computer program (on the intern computer) is used to process and fill out the photo inscription forms. (NOTE: Under my instruction, the interns have traditionally been responsible for entering the information into the computer.) The forms are then turned in to Mary Ingalls in Correspondence, Room 94, ext. 7610. Instructions and tips are included in the Photo Book as a reference. Status of Photos: If a group calls regarding the status of their photos from a recent Presidential trip, check with Marilyn Jacanin in the White House Photographer's Office, ext. 4050. Ordering Extra Photos: If a group wants to order extra photos, they should write the White House Photo Editing Office, the White House, Washington, D.C. 20500. The Advance Office is not responsible for taking orders or for processing extra photos.
