ELEONORA DAVID

Eleonora David joined Civilian Personnel Flight's US Staffing Team last November. Her main responsibility is to provide assistance in support of the Overseas Benefits and Staffing Programs at Aviano Air Base. Since joining 31 FSS, Eleonora has revamped an antiquated manual procedure and created all new electronic forms for processing Overseas Benefits.

In doing so, she has streamlined the processes, increasing efficiency and accuracy. In addition, she has helped save the government thousands of dollars by reconciling cases.

Eleanora has an outstanding attitude towards customers and co-workers, and she is a shining star within the Civilian Personnel Flight. Thank you, Eleanora, for all you do!
