Uncasville, CT (November 2006) Mia McSherry, Regional General Manager of Michael Jordans Steak House and 23.sportcafe both located in Mohegan Sun Casino and Resort in Uncasville, CT, has been named the Edward O. McCabe Employer of the Year award by the Greater Mystic Chamber of Commerce, Mystic, CT. The award was inspired by the efforts of Edward O.

The Greater Chamber of Commerce, an 800+ member organization that fosters and promotes business for its members, will present this annual award to McSherry at a dinner ceremony held on Friday, December 1 at the Mystic Marriott Hotel and Spa.

Her positive and motivational leadership has made a strong impact on her team, who believe that her managerial approach has empowered them to become more confident workers while her constant encouragement helps them to pursue their goals and grow personally and professionally.
Mia is a successful, upbeat, motivated person who breathes these characteristics into her team on a daily basis.

As always, her major focus is on the guests experience. Cultivating meaningful relationships with our customers is definitely a value she has instilled in all of us.
The complexity of overseeing two restaurants open 365 days a year, serving close to 6,000 customers per week has not stopped McSherry from donating her own services or encouraging others to volunteer.
