Smith Named Superstar for
First Quarter of 2002
Logan Smith, F&B Buffet, was chosen as the Superstar of the first quarter of
2002 after a review of the nominations by supervisors and an anonymous vote by
line staff. In recognition of his achievement, Logan was presented with a check
for $1,000 and a marble tile that will be displayed at the front of
the casino.
Tribal elders, members of the Gaming Board of Directors, the Siletz Tribal
Regulatory Gaming Agency, Chinook Winds directors, and several casino staff
members were present at the Superstar ceremony on April 25.
To be eligible to receive the Superstar award, an employee must perform
his/her duties at a high standard of excellence on a consistent basis. He/she must
exhibit above-the-norm internal and external customer service and
be a team leader by example. Instances of exemplary performance must
be documented.
After a person is nominated for the award, the nomination goes through several
reviews before the final selection is made. Both casino staff and casino
guests can submit Superstar nominations. With more than 700 employees and
only four of these awards given each year, it’s a real honor to be chosen as
the Superstar.
Logan s award was based on two customer nominations and his impressive
history at the casino. He has been nominated several times and is well thought of
by co-workers, supervisors, and customers. One customer said, "I would like to
nominate him for the highest award the casino can grant. Logan
is the best!" Supervisors consider him outstanding in customer service
and teamwork.
