Summary:Imagine what it would be like to learn the countless cultural, political and business mores of as many as 170 countries, all the while performing a delicate balancing act to keep widely disparate groups happy and at peace while staying in the same hotel. This is the challenge Yvonne Lynn Rose faced 5 months ago when she was appointed the first director of diplomatic affairs at the UN Plaza Hotel in New York City. The hotel is considered a home away from home by foreign dignitaries, diplomats and ambassadors to the United Nations. Her job entails coordinating visits for international VIPs, interacting with the Secret Service and insuring that both the privacy and political alliances of all guests are respected and preserved.
