Meet your Camp Zama Exchange Manager
The Camp Zama Exchange is giving military shoppers a chance to give face-to-face feedback to Exchange managers from 4:00pm to 5:00 pm, April 26, 2018 at the Camp Zama Exchange.
Shoppers can learn more about their Exchange benefits and let managers know whether any aspect of the shopping experience needs improvement. Topics will include Exchange support of military Quality-of-Life programs, MILITARY STAR card updates and upcoming community events at the Camp Zama Exchange. “Camp Zama shoppers should have a say in how their local retail benefit serves them,” said Camp Zama Exchange General Manager Gloria Sylvia. “We want the best for Soldiers and their families, and that starts with knowing their wants and needs. Don’t be shy— we’re here to listen.”
All feedback gathered during Meet the Manager discussions is sent back to Exchange headquarters in Dallas and evaluated for possible future programs and execution. Camp Zama Exchange shoppers can call 1-214-261-2103 for more information on the Meet the Manager program.
