# DLA Distribution’s Paolo Pappalardo is recognized and awarded as one of the Defense Logistics Agency’s top ten employees

By DLA Distribution Public Affairs

                NEW CUMBERLAND, Pa.  –              
In recognition for his efforts through the past year the Defense Logistics Agency recognizes Paolo Pappalardo as one of the Ten Outstanding DLA Personnel of the Year as part of the DLA 53rd Annual Employee Recognition Awards Program.

Pappalardo is a remarkable and multi-faceted employee, who truly epitomized the qualities and values behind this award. His efforts were key to DLA Distribution Sigonella, Italy’s highly demanding, complex mission successes. Pappalardo’s exceptional work ethic contributed to many successes, driving his team to excel in production, meeting deadlines and warfighter requirements for the last 12 months.

Pappalardo tackled workforce management as it pertained to mission-essential duties, while adhering to and promoting social distancing practices for employees. He was instrumental in identifying personnel among the workforce to designate as “mission-critical on-site” while concurrently managing multiple teams of over 30 employees.

During the COVID-19 crisis, the "mission-critical on-site" designation allowed DLA Distribution Sigonella to continue DLA's vital work of supporting Warfighters and the "whole-of-government" response to the pandemic.

His tireless efforts directly contributed to DLA Distribution Sigonella maintaining green metrics in all operational categories, even during surge and protracted non-duty periods. The distinctive accomplishments of Mr. Pappalardo reflect great credit upon himself, the Defense Logistics Agency, and the Department of Defense.Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the ceremony honoring DLA teammates will be recorded and released for viewing to the workforce Jan. 26.
