The Martha’s Vineyard Chamber of Commerce hosted an evening to honor 28 individuals who were nominated by the public for their outstanding customer service. According to a press release, the April 11 event, named Celebrate Service, kicked off the 2018 season on a high note, focusing on the exceptional customer service for which the Island is well-known. The event was held at the Harbor View Hotel — a co-sponsor of the night.
“Great customer service starts with people,” said Nancy Gardella, executive director of the Chamber of Commerce. “The people right here in our own community, who, day in and day out, take pride in their work, and take care with the people they serve.
