Rite Aid is proud to announce the two winners of this year’s
Vote for Your Favorite Pharmacy Team Member Contest. Amanda
Bourque, a Rite Aid pharmacy technician from Coventry, Rhode Island
and JoAnn Lankford, a loyal Rite Aid customer from Providence
Forge, Virginia were selected at random from more than 13,000
unique entries. Established in 2003, the contest was designed to
honor Rite Aid pharmacy associates for their commitment to
providing outstanding customer care and service.
During American Pharmacist Month in October, Rite Aid customers
had the opportunity to submit mail-in and online ballots nominating
their favorite pharmacy team member. The names of one customer and
one pharmacy team member were each randomly drawn to receive $2,500
in Rite Aid gift cards. Every nominated Rite Aid pharmacy team
member was acknowledged with an official pin and a letter of
commendation from CEO of Rite Aid Stores and President of Rite Aid
Corporation Ken Martindale and Executive Vice President of Pharmacy
Jocelyn Konrad.
"As one of the most highly valued and trusted professionals in
the industry, I am proud of the year-round commitment and effort
our entire pharmacy teams display in order to help our customers
lead healthier lives,” said Konrad. “I’d like to congratulate our
two winners and each nominated pharmacy team member for continuing
to deliver excellent customer care and service to those in the
communities we serve.”
Amanda Bourque, Rite Aid's winning Pharmacy Team Member, has
been a pharmacy technician for more than five years at the store in
Coventry, Rhode Island. Bourque is known for her friendliness and
eagerness to consistently help customers while making them feel
welcome.
“Starting her career with Rite Aid as a cashier, Amanda has
continued to grow as an associate and pharmacy professional,” said
Diane Kuriscak, Rite Aid pharmacy district manager. “Amanda is a
valuable member of our pharmacy team, who is dedicated to providing
caring moments of service to our customers and I’m so happy her
hard work and strong work ethic has not gone unrecognized."
Rite Aid's winning customer is JoAnn Lankford of Providence
Forge, Virginia. She participated in the program by nominating a
pharmacy technician at her local store.
