The Guides association of New York City's current President is Michael Dillinger.On March 2, 2015 first GANYC "Apple Awards" ceremony was held at the Leonard Nimoy Thalia theater at Symphony Space on the Upper West Side of Manhattan to honor the best in New York City culture, preservation and tourism. At this event among the nominees and recipients, the artist James Turrell was honored with a lifetime achievement award. Other awards at the gala which were given to individuals and organizationsas chosen from groups of nominees were; tour guide Justin Ferate (New York City Walking Tours), the Friends of the High Line, Christopher Gray and his Streetscapes column for the New York Times, William Helmreich and his book "The New York Nobody Knows: 6,000 Miles In The City", The Museum of the City of New York‘s exhibition Palaces For the People: Guastavino and the Art of Structural tile", Kathleen O’Connor from the New York Historical Society,Russ & Daughters, the Lower East Side appetizing shop celebrating its 100 years of business in 2014 and Kevin Walsh and the website he founded "Forgotten NY". The award ceremony was held just three days following the passing of the namesake and principal benefactor of the theater in which it was held, Mr. Nimoy. Therefore it was fitting that one of the presenters Ethel Sheffer, the widow of Isiah Sheffer at whose production, Selected Shorts the famed portrayer of Star Trek first officer and Vulcan, Spock would often appear in at the theater would in turn pay tribute to him at this gala also held at the venue.The second annual GANYC Apple Awards will be held on March 7, 2016 once again at the Leonard Nimoy theater at Symphony Space. Among those to be honored are Jazz chanteuse Marjorie Eliot with the Lifetime achievement award and tour guide and urban historian Lee Gelber, who will receive the organization's inaugural "Guiding Spirit Award".".
