Avila named casino’s Superstar
employee for fourth quarter 2017
Siletz Tribal member
Ediberto “Eddie” Avila
was selected as the fourth
quarter 2017 Superstar for
Chinook Winds Casino
Resort.
Av i l a h a s b e e n
employed with Chinook
Winds in Player Services
for more than four years.
His outstanding service
has been noted by many
guests as well as by his
supervisors. He has been
nominated for the Super-
star award multiple times in
the past, as well as receiv-
ing all five BEACH stars.
Avila was nominated
both by a guest and by
a supervisor for his out-
standing customer ser-
vice and willingness to go

for $1,000, his own parking

to the casino.
Chinook Winds directors, selected staff, Tribal elders and staff of the Siletz Tribal
Gaming Commission attended the Superstar ceremony in the casino’s convention cen-
ter in January. One-, five-, 10- and 15-year employees also were recognized for their
service to the organization.
Chinook Winds’ BEACH core values form the foundation on which staff perform and
conduct themselves daily. The core values, which spell out “BEACH,” include: Be Passion-
ate & Determined, Embrace Change, Accountability, Customer Service and Happiness.
Nominations go through several reviews before a final selection is made. With more
than 800 employees and only four of these awards given each year, it’s a real honor to
be chosen as the Superstar. Avila was nominated alongside fellow team members Alice
Cornejo, Greg Albrich, Joseph Padilla, Rob Brooks and Roy Cabal.
