Scottsdale residents and Cambria employees Melissa Fedock (Sr. Commercial Market Representative) and Emily Maduros (Market Representative) were selected because of their "superior performance, tireless dedication to excellence, and diligent work each and every day on behalf of Cambria and the company’s customers."
