Tell us a little about how you came to join the Chamber.

Bally’s Dover Casino Resort is a premiere horseracing, gaming, dining and hotel experience in Delaware, starting over 50 years ago for racing and over 20 years ago with Slots coming to Delaware.  One stop destination for a fun filled adventure.  In addition to our beautiful hotel rooms, we have Jerry Longo’s Meatballs and Martinis and the Sugar Factory restaurants you don’t want to miss.  Harness racing runs from October – April.  We have exciting entertainment throughout the year –always something fun and exciting at Bally’s!

Tell us about your role in the business/organization.

As a F&B Manager my role is to ensure all outlets in this department have all the support and resources need to perform excellent service to our Guest.

Tell us something that makes the Recorder’s office and MOAA unique. 

There are only 3 casinos in the State of Delaware, so we are often held to a higher standard than regular entertainment venues.  That keeps us on our toes and helps us to provide the best service and experience to our customers.  As one of the larger employers in the county, we know that it is our responsibility to give back to the community and help where we can.  I feel that having resources to help, also makes us unique, and Bally’s Corporation encourages all our properties to do the same.

What do you see for the future of your business/organization?

Bally’s Corporation will continue to grow throughout the country, which will help all our properties with setting standards of the brand throughout our network.  Which is great for our customer experience.  At our property level here in Dover, we will continue doing our best to keep the property up to date and “fresh” with our gaming, retail and hotel areas.

How has the Chamber helped MOAA grow?

Networking and being around other companies throughout the CDCC have helped not only on the business side, but also with our Community Outreach efforts.  For example, it is nice to be able to pull up the CDCC business directory and choose one of the member businesses to assist with catering for one of our outreach programs.  Nick Polcino is also on the Board, and I believe that helps him keep in touch with all the latest news in and around Central Delaware to be able to disseminate to our team. 

Avice to other businesses/organizations? 

Personally for me, it will be to help within the community when you can, there will always be some way you can make a difference to those in need (even though staff and time are stressed for many businesses – its important).  Participate in the Chamber activities when you are able to do so.  You will not only meet some great people, again, the networking between companies is invaluable.  If you can send a team member to the Leadership Development Class, we suggest doing that as well – which we have done this for years now, often sending 2 people each session.  What they learn will stay with them throughout their career.
