WICHITA, KANS.. - On Saturday, April 18, more than 200 Viega employees from across America, Canada and Mexico attended the company’s Top Gun Awards dinner as a part of its National Sales Meeting. Viega’s Vice President of Sales, Dave Garlow, presented the awards. “I am so proud of the quality of sales people we have at Viega. Their commitment and hard work makes it difficult to only select nine recipients of a Top Gun award, but these nine Top Gun recipients have really went above and beyond my expectations,” said Garlow.

2008 Top Gun recipients:
Olivier Roberge, Canada
Darrell Markley, Inside Sales
Josh Dimacchia, Northeast Territory
Wendy Toth, National Accounts
Ted Atkinson, West Territory
Jon Miller, Southeast Territory
Bill Sloan, Industrial Accounts
Dennis Harvey, Central Territory

Tara Kemen, National Accounts Representative, received the highest award of the evening – the National Top Gun award. Kemen has worked at Viega for four years. “This may have been a year full of challenges, but more importantly, a year of accomplishments. Tara’s focus on customer service and motivation to drive sales never wavered during these times of economic challenges. I can’t think of anyone more deserving of this honor,” said Garlow.
