“Knowing that marketing and tourism professionals from around the country recognized one of our initiatives for their innovation and creativity is humbling,” says John Meroski, FACVB President and CEO. “It proves our CVB is second to none.”
The awards are presented annually by the NCTIA.

Each entry was graded on a sliding point scale system and is evaluated on its own merit and demonstrated success in achieving the stated objectives.
