Bonnie Quill, executive director of the Mat-Su Convention and Visitors Bureau, recently received a Denali Award from the Alaska Travel Industry Association (ATIA) at their annual convention in Anchorage. This honor, which is considered to be one of the top travel-related awards in Alaska, is given to individuals who showcase outstanding leadership, professional excellence and personal contributions to bettering the state's travel industry.

Quill has served as the CVB's executive director for the past 13 years and has also held management positions at the Alaska Tourism Marketing Council, Princess Tours and other travel industry organizations during her 28-year career. She has also served on the ATIA and Alaska State Fair's board of directors.

The Simpleview team is proud of Quill and the bureau, as they are a valued client. This award highlights what we have known for several years - there are some amazing professionals representing Alaska's Matanuska-Susitna Valley.
