Patriotic Employers

Velia Key, director of finance, and Deanna Lathrop, utility administration supervisor, were recognized as Patriotic Employers on Wednesday by Ron Rivers, the area chair of the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve.

 

The two were honored for supporting Copperas Cove city employees’ participation in America’s National Guard and Reserve force. Key and Lathrop were nominated by Giovanni Stanziale, a city utilities meter reader who is currently deployed overseas and wanted to show his appreciation to Key and Lathrop for their outstanding support of him as an employee during this transition.

 

“Truly it goes to the city of Copperas Cove. The city of Copperas Cove is very supportive of our employees and our heroes,” Key about the Patriot Award recognition.
