Chicago Concierges Take Home Three National Awards

Chicago concierge professionals placed among the top in the business at the annual National Concierge Association (NCA) International Conference August 2-4, earning three awards for outstanding performance within the concierge industry.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) September 1, 2006 -- Concierge Preferred (CP) secured its third consecutive “International Partner of the Year” award, while Director of Concierge Relations and Services, Joyce Fong, won her first “Concierge Outstanding Service” award. The NCA further acclaimed Chicago’s concierge community by granting the Chicago NCA Chapter its third “Best Chapter” award.

The NCA Chicago Chapter President Sheryl Novak, along with the Chicago Board of Directors, nominated CP and Fong for the awards, touting Fong’s exceptional level of dedication to the industry and her clients.

We are very proud to give her that award.

“Her commitment not only to the NCA, as well as the Chicago chapter, but also her commitment to the profession of concierge is second to none,” Novak says. “We are very proud to give her that award.”

Novak continues to commend CP’s extensive coverage of Chicago-area venues and corporations and its readiness to assist concierges.

“From hosting one of the most popular concierge events of the year (the CP Convention & Trade Show), introductions to new venues and to tools to make our jobs easier right at our finger tips within their interactive Website, CP finds ways to be of service to concierge in every area that our membership has chosen to work in—corporate, retail, hospital, residential, personal, hotel, as well as the small business owner,” says Novak.

CP’s widespread assistance to the concierge community helped place the Chicago Chapter among the nation’s best at the annual conference, says Sara-Ann Kasner, NCA president and founder.

“The NCA awarded this honor, for the 3rd consecutive year, to Concierge Preferred Magazine due to its level of activity in the National Concierge Association, the superior quality of its product which a majority of our members are pleased to share with their clientele, and its generosity in providing revenue to the association and involvement in the hospitality community at large,” Kasner says.

CP President & Publisher Tim O’Malley and Joyce Fong represented CP at the New Orleans, LA convention.

“Receipt of this award for the third consecutive year speaks not just to our commitment to excellence, but to our ability to consistently serve concierges and their clients,” O’Malley says.

“In the know and on the go” captures the essence of CP’s mission. It is published six times annually by the O’Malley-Magnusson Publishing Group, LLC. All of the businesses listed in Concierge Preferred are reviewed by the Concierge Advisory Council to ensure that the businesses are worthy of a concierges’ recommendation.
