New award to be named after Ray Kot
Wednesday, June 24th, 2009
The Atlantic City Host Awards recognize employees who represent the highest standards for the hospitality industry and related professions in Atlantic City.
Fittingly, a new award category recognizing the Best Casino Games Personnel will top the 2010 Host Awards, and will be named the Raymond Kot Award in honor of the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort employee whose life was tragically taken in May 2009. Addition of the Raymond Kot Award will bring the Host Awards categories to 28.
“Ray Kot was a veteran casino gaming employee who was respected by all who knew and worked with him through the years,” says Atlantic City Convention & Visitors Authority (ACCVA) board member and Trump Entertainment Resorts, Inc. CEO Mark Juliano (pictured). “It will be an honor to his memory to present an Atlantic City casino games employee with this prestigious award.”
The Atlantic City Host Awards are sponsored by the ACCVA to salute and encourage excellent customer service. Proceeds from the Host Awards benefit the ACCVA Foundation, a charitable, tax-exempt organization established to attract a greater diversity of visitors to and investment in Atlantic City, and to foster quality partnerships in and around the region.
