TESTIMONIALS
The GGFCVB recently received the Governors Award for outstanding service and it is very apparent why. We were assisted with tremendous support from the time we chose Grand Forks as our site. They helped identify a location, found blocks of rooms, and a venue to host a golf tournament. Banners were made and news releases sent, and when our special guests arrived, they were greeted with chippers, summer sausage, crackers, wine and a message welcoming them to Grand Forks. The services provided were nothing by top notch. We had nothing but great reviews from our attendees and hope to return for another conference.
Amy Jo Johnson, Mid-America Credit Union Association
"Grand Forks opens their doors and hearts — and wins a gold medal for hospitality and friendliness."
2005 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championships attendee on receiving excellent service at the Ralph Engelstad Arena and the community of Greater Grand Forks
"I want to thank everyone in Grand Forks for making the '08 Democratic-NPL State Convention—the largest political convention in North Dakota history — such a success. This was the first Democratic convention held in Grand Forks in 26 years, and thanks to our experience, I know we'll be back much sooner next time."
Jamie Selzler, Executive Director of the ND Democratic-NPL Party
"I have never seen such an amazing facility. The Ralph Engelstad Arena has to be the greatest ever venue for a world curling championship."
David Hay, Scottish Team Coach commenting on the 2008 Men's World Curling Championships
"A huge thank you on behalf of Northern Hockey Unlimited! We experienced what we considered to be a very successful tournament with the help of your entire team. The cooperation and facilities management from the Ralph Engelstad Arena and the Grand Forks Park District was outstanding, which is vital to the success of the Little Caesars' North American Hockey Showcase."
Cathy Galstad, Jeff Bowen and Scott Koberinksi, Northern Hockey Unlimited
"I cannot begin to tell you how grateful I am to you, Nicole and the CVB staff, for all your help and assistance. It is so nice to work with such positive and helpful people and I was always treated with such respect — something that seems to be lacking in a lot of places now days. Thank you again for the wonderful help from the Greater Grand Forks Convention & Visitors Bureau. You exceed in excellence!"
Jan Fetsch, North Dakota Geriatric Conference
"Thank you for your assistance in welcoming Phil Jackson back to town, which included a gift basket as well as promotions. The JFK Conference was a successful event for our 125th Anniversary, and we thank you for the contribution you made to that program. Also, we appreciated the gift basket for Travis Roy, the young man who spoke in September, inspiring 1,200 people from the community, campus and area with his courage and message. Your help in promoting our 125th Anniversary Events and the fact that your staff was consistently in attendance, representing the CVB, was noticed by committee members. Thanks to all!"
Dawn Botsford, Coordinator, University of North Dakota Office of Ceremonies & Special Events
"The CVB did a great job! More than we have received anywhere else."
North Dakota Association of Dance & Drill
"Drawing the largest attendance for any world curling championship in the USA (2008) was well deserved."
Mike Thompson, World Curling Federation Secretary General
