RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas – The Air Force recently selected its two winners of the 2010 National LATINA Symposium Distinguished Service Award.

The award honors the servicemember and civilian employee who demonstrate distinguished performance and display exceptional character as role models representing the Hispanic community with dignity and pride.

This year’s winners are Master Sgt. Sandra Nunes, 56th Medical Group at Luke Air Force Base, Ariz., and Julie Moran, National Air and Space Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio.

Sergeant Nunes managed pharmacy operations leading 38 personnel and executing a $13 million budget. She assisted the 69-member humanitarian mission “Beyond the Horizon” as an interpreter in the Dominican Republic benefitting 8,600 local residents who received critical medical care. Additionally, she evaluated the Maricopa County Public Health Department’s bioterrorist attack readiness during its 2009 exercise.

Ms. Moran led a team of 25 analysts in making sure data from the first $162 million component of the Space Based Infrared System would be accessible to the intelligence community on schedule. She also led the development of a $52 million system for advanced infrared intelligence processing and dissemination.
