ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.
Meet AC, a tourism development agency designed to attract meetings and conventions to Atlantic City, N.J., has announced the formation of the Atlantic City Sports Commission.
The Atlantic City Sports Commission has been a vision of Meet AC President/CEO Jim Wood since he came on board in June 2014. The Atlantic City Sports Commission will be powered by Meet AC and aims to continue the city’s growth as a destination for sporting events that run from small to large, as well as sports meetings and conventions.
Mayor Don Guardian stated, “The formation of the AC Sports Commission is one more fantastic non-gaming attraction that Atlantic City will build its future upon. No matter what your age is, you can always have fun watching a sporting event with your friends and family!”
Throughout the years, the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority (CRDA) has hosted numerous sports events in Atlantic City. New Jersey State High School Wrestling Finals, Atlantic City Marathon and numerous cheer and dance events are just a few of the annual sports events held in Atlantic City.
Meet AC, Inc. was officially formed as a 501(c) (6) company on June 23, 2014; it will focus on three primary objectives: sales, marketing and services.
