Then a member of UNITE, DeAngelis is now a training and education representative for UFCW Canada.

De Angelis received the award for her initiative, enthusiasm and “never-take-no-for-an-answer” attitude, said OFL executive vice-president Terry Downey.

De Angelis was the OFL’s youth vice-president from 1997 to 2003. She has also been the UFCW’s youth coordinator.
