The final results will be announced during a gala banquet on Friday, Feb. 27 at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas, Nev. Finalists from the U.S. and several other nations are expected to attend.
"Being selected as a finalist for Front-Line Customer Service Team of the Year is a rewarding acknowledgment," Kachidurian said. "It means we are doing the right things for all of our customers."
