Everyday Erie County front line employees come in contact with the traveling public and now VisitErie is acknowledging those that go above and beyond their duties.
The “Outstanding Customer Service in Erie” Awards were developed to thank/recognize those for their exceptional work in ensuring customer/visitor satisfaction with the traveling public.
After receiving over 120 nominations, the winners were selected from a panel of tourism industry judges and will be presented with their awards during special awards reception Wednesday, October 28 at the Concourse of Union Station.
The nomination process took place over the summer, June 1 – August 31 with displays posted at area attractions, restaurants and hotels and online at VisitErie.com encouraging visitors and employers to nominate an employee who is making a difference. Six front line employees will be recognized at the reception in five categories:
Accommodations Paul Haag, Holiday Inn Express
Attractions Sandra Vega, Presque Isle Downs & Casino
Restaurant Heather Peterman, Presque Isle Downs & Casino
Volunteer Richard Markiewicz, Tom Ridge Environmental Center
Behind the Scenes Adrian Pop, JR’s Last Laugh Comedy Club, Sam Ansbro, Erie Art Museum
