Galveston Island Convention and Visitors Bureau 

Meetings and Conventions Magazine has presented its Gold Service Award to the Galveston Island Convention and Visitors Bureau, honoring "superior professionalism and dedication, providing outstanding service to meeting professionals nationwide."

The award was among 80 similar honors presented to domestic and international CVBs.  

A news release said selections were based on key criteria including: professionalism of staff, support on hotels and site inspections, assistance with ground transportation planning, guidance on local attractions and acting as liaison between local venders and services.

“All of our Gold Service winning CVBs know the value of creating a lasting impression and that can never be understated,” said M&C Group Publisher Bernard W. Schraer. “The 2002 Gold Service winners continually excel in many valuable areas of service, impressing not only their clients but also the demanding readers of M&C.”

The winners received their awards during M&C’s Gold Awards gala ceremony recently held in New York City.
