NTC Foundation Receives Peak Performance Award

The NTC Foundation was honored with a 2008 Peak Performance Award by the San Diego Daily Transcript and National University at an Awards Luncheon attended by our community’s leading business and civic leaders on November 19, 2008 at the Hilton Torrey Pines.

The Peak Performance Award was presented to 7 honorees from among 150 nominees, and recognizes outstanding companies and organizations, “showcasing their exemplary practices as a means of educating and inspiring others to elevate their functional capacity and maximize their potential to achieve institutional missions and goals.”

The NTC Foundation was the only nonprofit among the honorees, which included Torrey Pines Bank, Rancho Santa Fe Technology, Elite Systems Integrators, RBF Consulting, SGIS and Gordon & Rees.

We are honored to have received this recognition for our innovative approach to financing the development of the NTC Promenade, and operating it as San Diego’s newest destination for arts and culture.

Great Meeting Locales!

Looking for the perfect spot for your next meeting, conference, symposium or board retreat? How about a convenient location, free parking and a park-like setting? Your meetings can have the comfort and ease that the admirals enjoyed.

The event venues at NTC Promenade offer the perfect place for your next meeting of five or 500. The state-of-the-art AV, flexible seating packages and historic ambiance combine to ensure you have a wonderfully productive meeting. And we’ll make sure everyone finds just the right room with directional signage that takes your guests from the minute they enter Liberty Station right up to the door of your meeting room.

Imagine gathering with your board members in the same rooms once filled by admirals and commanders. The NTC Command Center has six such rooms, each equipped with flat-screen monitors, conference call capability and meeting supplies.

The Event Center can accommodate larger conferences and training sessions for single or multi-day sessions. And with a 15’ x 20’ screen, even the last row will view your presentation as easily as the first. Or think about a general session in the Event Center and break-out sessions in the Command Center.
Both facilities have prep kitchens and hospitality areas for your convenience.

Have we convinced you? More questions? Call one of our wonderful sales representatives at (619) 573-9260 and book your next meeting at The Venues at NTC Promenade.
