On June 1, the Navy Exchange Service Command’s (NEXCOM) Navy Lodge Program recognized its associates and Navy Lodges who displayed PREMIER Guest Service in 2019. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s Navy Lodge awards were presented virtually by NEXCOM’s Chief Executive Officer, retired Rear Adm. Robert J. Bianchi.
“Over the past several months, our team has really been in high gear navigating the impacts from this worldwide COVID-19 crisis,” said Christopher Settelen, Vice President, Navy Lodge Program. “Our Navy Lodge Program associates have been working tirelessly to support Sailors and military families who were placed on Restriction of Movement (ROM) orders as a precaution before or after deployment or due to a recent permanent change of station (PCS) move. It was great we could all pause and take the time to celebrate virtually with our hard-working associates since we couldn’t all be together in person.”
