“I Love Block by Block and My Job!”
Stacey has established many relationships with local business owners.
At the end of every year, each of our programs across the country chooses an “Ambassador of the Year” for their program. These Ambassadors represent the best of the best at Block by Block, someone who has been a standout, a leader and a great example of what it means to serve their community.
In Myrtle Beach Downtown Alliance, Team Lead Stacey Marlow was chosen to receive the honor by Operations Manager Mike Snow.
“Stacey is an exemplary Ambassador; she has a kind heart looking out for the street resident population and her Ambassadors,” Mike said. “She’s always willing to pick up an extra shift or go out of her way for our client.”
A familiar face in Downtown Myrtle Beach, Stacey’s worked with Block by Block for four and a half years, building strong relationships with community business owners, employees and stakeholders.
“There is not one person who works in our district who doesn’t know who I am,” Stacey said. “They know they can talk to me about their concerns, and I will take them seriously and get them the answers they need or get their issue taken care of.”
Stacey has also worked to establish relationships with members of the street population, building familiarity and a resilient rapport that has come in handy when she has had to be firm or communicate district policies.
“They all know that I will do everything I can for them, and they respect me enough that when I have to come to them about an issue, they listen,” she said.
Stacey finds her work rewarding, with many opportunities for healthy challenges and new growth. She was honored to receive the award with her team’s support behind her and hopes to one day be an Operations Supervisor when the program is big enough.
“I am blessed that I get paid EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. to exercise, see the beach, talk to people, pet puppies and help rebuild our downtown,” Stacey said, adding, “I love Block by Block and my job!”
Congratulations to Stacey! We are so grateful that she is a part of the Block by Block family and are inspired by her dedication to and love for her work in Downtown Myrtle Beach.
We can’t wait to see what her future holds for her here at Block by Block.
