Dominica-born St. Maarten resident, Jacqueline Joseph, has been named “Professional of the Year” in the Independent Category at the 2013 Auto Rental Summit presented by American Express.

Participants at the event gathered in Hollywood, Florida on November 5 to hear the announcement of this year’s award winners.

As a newly named Auto Rental News Professional of the Year, Jacqueline has been recognized for her outstanding customer service in the car rental industry.

Jacqueline started working in the Car Rental industry as a Car Rental Agent at Easy Rentals in Roseau.  She is now a Marketing Executive at Leisure Car Rental in St. Maarten, an Independent Car Rental company.

Joseph joined the Leisure team in 2009 as a Marketing Representative and was quickly promoted to Marketing Manager due to her consistent and effective work on behalf of the company and its customers.

When asked to comment on the award and the ceremony Joseph said, “It is a great honor to be recognized as Leisure Car Rental’s Professional of the Year. Over the years, I’ve discovered that customer service is key! We always strive to go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure maximum customer satisfaction.”

Jimmy Fitzpatrick of Leisure Car Rental said Joseph wears many hats. In addition to her duties as Marketing Manager, she also assists the company with planning, operations and human resources.

A panel of five judges chose the winners. They are Sharon Faulkner, Executive Director of ACRA (American Car Rental Association); Diane J. Clancy, director of ACRISS (Association of Car Rental Industry System Standards); Leslie Pujo, Attorney/Owner at LaPlaca Pujo, PC; Ziad Khoury, founder and president of the Frontline Performance Group (FPG) and Chris Brown, executive editor of Auto Rental News.
