Katia Cipolat
Retail Supervisor
Aviano Main Store
Katia continuously goes above and beyond her role to drive for results and achieve goals within all Center Pad departments. Through uncertain times, during the absence of key employees, she manages to be a role model for her team and take the Center Pad to the next level of customer service and sales. During these challenging times, when Center Pad only has 50% of its employees, Katia was able to achieve great results. Aviano Main Store Center Pad placed Best in Europe for Q1 2022. The Jewelry goal was exceeded by 14.2% and Cosmetics/Accessories by 13.1%. Her commitment and passion in serving are mirrored through results and those of her team.

Teresa McBride
Food Service Worker
Vicenza Villaggio School
Terri, supervisor of Villaggio school cafeteria, received a stellar customer comment on her outstanding management of special-diet school lunches for children with allergies, highlighting just a small portion of what she does daily for the school and the community. “I must send a note of appreciation for Ms. Teresa McBride at the Vicenza Elementary School. Her abundance of care, patience and pride that she puts on display is simply amazing. My son has a condition that causes diet restrictions, and Ms. McBride ensures my son has the absolute best lunch experience possible. She has a level of personal pride, attention to detail and ownership that I have never seen. Not only does she communicate with the students, but she does an amazing job of opening the lines of communication with the parents and keeping them open. She is so very patient and endearing and I never feel like I am ‘bothering’ her. She is a true pleasure and joy to work with and I would ask that you please acknowledge her the first opportunity.”
