Corporate Meetings & Incentives announces the winners of our reader-selected 2005 Paragon Awards. Once again we asked our readers to choose the hotels, resorts, and conference centers that did the best job of handling their meetings and incentive programs during the past year. Hotel nominations were based on the meeting services' quality, while resorts were judged on atmosphere, services, and recreational amenities. Conference centers (which must be members of the International Association of Conference Centers or deemed the equivalent by our editors), were chosen based on their facilities, equipment, and meeting services.

Look for the ballot for the 2006 Paragon Awards in the July, August, and September issues of CMI.

Special thanks to The Saddlebrook Resort in Tampa, Fla., which provided a two-night vacation package for two. Nicole DeFeo, associate marketing manager with Checkpoint Systems, Thorofare, N.J., won the Saddlebrook stay in our random ballot drawing.
