January 30, 2012
Mayor and Commission
City of Miami Beach
1700 Convention Center Drive
Miami Beach, Florida 33139
Dear Mayor and Commission:
The Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Authority (MBVCA) would like to thank you for your support of our
efforts for FY 2011/2012. To assist the MBVCA in conducting business, we kindly request the reappointment of
our Chair, Jeff Lehman and members Jacqueline Hertz, Keith Menin, and Micky Ross Steinberg. We will be
sending another letter with a slate of recommendations for the vacancy caused by the term limit of our Chair
Elsie Sterling Howard.
Jeff Lehman, Chair (Hotelier) was appointed Chair of the MBVCA on January 27,2012. He was appointed to
the MBVCA in February 2008 after previously serving on the board from 2001 through 2007. He has been
working in the Hospitality Industry in Miami Beach for the past 14 years. He is currently managing the Betsy
Hotel, a boutique property in Miami Beach's South Beach. Prior to this, he assisted with the restoration of Miami
Beach's historic gem, the National Hotel, and was the hotel's General Manager until it was sold in 2007. His
extensive experience in the hotel and cruise industries span 30 years and has included positions in Tahiti,
Japan, Hawaii, Seattle, San Francisco, Miami and his hometown, Los Angeles.
He has also served as a board member on the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau Board of Directors,.
Mayor's Blue Ribbon Task Force on Tourism and was the past Vice Chair of the Collins Avenue Reconstruction
Task Force. He currently is on the Board of the Greater Miami & the Beaches Hotel Association. In 2009, Mr.
Lehman accompanied Mayor Bower and a local delegation on a goodwill journey to our sister city of Fujisawa,
Japan, to further this diplomatic and economic relationship. Mr. Lehman was re-elected as the MBVCA's Vice
Chair in December 2008.
Jacque Hertz (At-Large) was appointed to the MBVCA in January 2008 and is an At-Large member. She is
the founder and owner of Angel Care Management, Inc. and a longtime Miami Beach resident. Ms. Hertz is the
current President of the Douglas Gardens Community Mental Health Center and the South Florida Guardianship
Association and serves on several other boards including AYUDA, Florida State Guardianship Association,
Miami Jewish Home & Hospital and is a Founder at Mount Sinai Medical Center and Miami Jewish Home &
Hospital. Ms. Hertz's many recognitions include receiving 'A Woman Worth Knowing' award from the City of
Miami Beach Commission on the Status of Women; a Humanitarian Award from Prime Time Seniors, Inc.;
"Woman of the Year'' award from the Junior Auxiliary of the Miami Jewish Home & Hospital, and a Certificate of
Appreciation from the Circuit Court of the State of Florida, Eleventh Judicial Circuit in Miami -Dade County.
Keith Men in (Hotelier) was appointed to the MBVCA in February 2010. A resident of Miami Beach since
childhood, Principal of Menin Hotels Keith Menin began his career in the hospitality industry at the front desk of
The Shelborne Hotel while he was still in high school. Shortly thereafter, he attended The School of Hotel
Administration at Cornell University and began to design his first hotel, The Sanctuary South Beach, at the age
of 24. At 26, Menin had a new idea to convert a residential building on West Avenue, fronting Biscayne Bay to a
hotel residence. Partnering with Morgans Hotel Group, Menin successfully created the impressive Mondrian
South Beach. Menin has since developed Bentley Hotel South Beach, the Raffaello Hotel in Chicago and his
latest venture the same hotel where he was employed at the age of 15, The Shelborne. A portfolio that even the
most seasoned hoteliers would be envious of, Menin has added restaurants to the list such as Vesper Cafe &
Brasserie, Pizza Bar, Bar Tanaka and Lucy's Cantina Royale.
