'They are the critical link between the meticulous care and planning we put into every one of our tours and cruises, and the actual experiences our guests enjoy. By honoring Jacque, Mary and Kristin, we’re honoring all of our Tauck directors around the world.'
Mahar noted the average tenure for Tauck directors is more than a decade , and that some have worked for Tauck for more than 30 years. Mahar added that the company’s managerial ranks are populated with many former Tauck directors, in addition to the three godmothers.
