  Meanwhile, Bureau president and CEO Dave Heinl received the prestigious Barentine Special Achievement Award for his exemplary efforts assisting the local and statewide visitor industry.
  
  Competing against the likes of Asheville, Charlotte, Durham, Greensboro, Pinehurst, Wilmington and Winston-Salem, the GRCVB was again awarded Bureau of the Year for its overall efforts in calendar year 2001 to complete an impressive hat trick of its own.
  
  The GRCVB also picked up platinum plaques for Constituents Newsletter (Visitor Advance) and Destination Marketing Initiative (Greater Raleigh Weekend Company Campaign).The Bureau was a gold winner in Constituents Publication (Annual Report), Niche Publication (Greater Raleigh Group Tour Guide) and Primary Marketing Publication (Greater Raleigh Entertainment Map).Of note, Greater Raleigh garnered six awards at last year's banquet and has picked up more than 20 publication awards the past two years.
  
  ...
  "I am personally pleased that the good work of our strong staff was so richly awarded in this competition with our peers as judged by an independent group of travel and tourism professionals from Virginia," said Heinl."We were not only happy, but extremely surprised, to receive Bureau of the Year for the third straight year."
  
  Named in honor of NCACVB's first president, Richard Barentine, the Barentine Special Achievement Award recognized Heinl for so positively impacting Wake County and the North Carolina tourism industry through his leadership, innovation and productivity.
  ...
  Heinl started the GRCVB in February 1987 and the organization has consistently done more with less since day one.Wake County is the state's No. 2 visitor destination in terms of visitor spending (an estimated $1.07 billion in 2001) despite having the No. 5 budget among statewide destination marketing organizations ($2.7 million).Foremost, the organization reacted quickly and proactively to counter the steep decline in travel and tourism following the events of September 11 and the earlier erosion of corporate business travel to the area.Over a one-year period, the GRCVB helped bring more than $60 million of future sporting events and meetings to the area, generated more than $300,000 in financial and in-kind support for various programs and produced more than $1.1 million in editorial exposure outside North Carolina.
