The Vail Valley Partnership- the Chamber & Tourism Bureau today revealed its first annual recipient of the \u201cMember of the Year\u201d award, the newest category for the Success Awards. Jorge Umana from SteamMaster Restoration and Cleaning LLC was chosen as this year\u2019s winner. The new award was added to the annual event in an effort to recognize an individual member of the Partnership who routinely participates in Chamber events and programs, works as a promoter of the Partnership in the community and helps to connect businesses and individuals to the Chamber. <\/p>\n
To say Umana is an active member would be an understatement. Between regularly attending the Partnership\u2019s After-Hours Business Mixers, educational seminars, Breakfast Scramblers and other events, Jorge works diligently as a Vail Valley Partnership (VVP) Ambassador, a position which helps to advocate for the Partnership. In addition, VVP ambassadors assist staff at events and programs and serve as a steward in recruiting and welcoming new partners. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt is beautiful to see so many positive and talented people working in one direction for the well-being of the Vail Valley \u2013 these are the reasons why I recommend and support the Vail Valley Partnership,\u201d explained Jorge Umana. <\/p>\n
Additionally, Umana also volunteers on the board for VVP member, Eagle Valley Home Builders Association. In his position at SteamMaster, Umana works in the Business Development and Marketing department, helping the local restoration and specialty cleaning company to attract new clients and enter new markets. <\/p>\n
\u201cI am personally excited and proud for Jorge to be named “Member of the Year” by the Vail Valley Partnership and thank the VVP for acknowledging Jorge’s contribution and continued efforts. He is incredibly functional as an ambassador and demonstrates a staff-like quality as a volunteer. SteamMaster celebrates with Jorge as well all other finalists, said CEO of SteamMaster, Rajkumar Manickam. <\/p>\n
The Partnership looks forward to recognizing Jorge for all of his Partnership and community involvement and efforts at the February 10th event at the Vail Marriott Mountain Resort & Spa. <\/p>\n
\u201cJorge Umana exemplifies all that we could ask for in our first-ever Member of the Year recognition \u2013 he’s an enthusiastic community ambassador and advocate for the Vail Valley Partnership and our various programs, said Chris Romer, executive director of the Partnership.<\/p>\n
