Nomination Survey #1

Dear VCOS Partner,

Recognizing the hard work and dedication of your employees and colleagues is a great way to improve morale, especially when we've all been through significant challenges such as a worldwide pandemic! You have an opportunity to do just that for no cost and very little time investment. Please take a few moments to think about your tourism superheroes who are deserving of praise and recognition in a public setting.

I invite you to review the Tourism Awards categories below and nominate an employee in one of the categories. Nominations are due Friday, September 24, 2021, and finalists will be announced to the nominators on Friday, October 1, 2021. The winners will be announced Thursday, October 14 during the 2021 Tourism Awards Celebration presented by Southwest Airlines at the Antlers, A Wyndham Hotel. Event registration information can be found at the end of this application.

If you would like to nominate an employee for more than one category or additional employees for any of the categories, please use the link within the email to fill out another survey.

Thank you for your partnership and support!

Sincerely,

Doug Price
President & CEO
