Warren County’s Summer Workforce Celebration is returning this September with a FREE night on a Lake George Steamboat Co. tour boat for local hospitality workers as thanks for their efforts this summer.
Lake George Steamboat Co. and Warren County Department of Workforce Development have teamed up to offer a free tour boat ride on the Lac du Saint Sacrement with food, prizes, awards, music, cash bar and more on Monday, September 8th.
It’s the Department of Workforce Development’s fourth annual end-of-summer event to thank the workers who serve as the backbone of our tourism industry. Previous events were held at The Great Escape, but the amusement park could not host this year so Lake George Steamboat Co. graciously volunteered to host.
Employees in the industries of Hospitality, Tourism and Retail in Warren County are invited to attend the event, which will run from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Registration is required for those who want to attend, and can be done through this link. The registration deadline is Friday, September 5th.
In addition, employers and supervisors are encouraged to nominate their employees for work-related awards that will be given out in seven different categories, ranging from Excellence in Customer Service to Sales Extraordinaire. Full details on the awards and a nomination form for supervisors and employees can be found at this link.
Liza Ochsendorf, Director of Warren County Department of Workforce Development, said: “We’re grateful to Lake George Steamboat Co. for stepping forward to help us thank our local workforce. We know that the best way to retain quality employees is to make sure they feel recognized, appreciated, and valued for their efforts and skills.”
Patricia Dow, Lake George Steamboat Co. President said: “The Lake George Steamboat Company is happy to help host this celebration for the hospitality workforce. Our Company has always been an integral part of this community. We appreciate the efforts of everyone involved in promoting this region and attractions, everyone working to provide hospitality and who welcome the visitors who come, and everyone loving and preserving Lake George now and into the future.“
Thank you for the sponsors who make this event possible, which so far include Lake George Steamboat Company, Fort William Henry, Spruce Hospitality, LG Courtyard Marriott, Marine Village Resort and Warrensburg Travel Park.
