Two Addison Trail graduates receive Augustus Caesar Award from Italian American Executives of Transportation

On Feb. 1, Addison Trail alumni Stephanie Corona and Anthony Palladino (class of 2016) were honored with the Augustus Caesar Award from the Italian American Executives of Transportation (IAET). They are pictured above.

That award is given annually to promising young professionals, who have shown extraordinary achievement in their careers and service to their communities. Corona and Palladino were recognized during a ceremony at Ashton Place in Willowbrook, where they were celebrated for their significant contributions to their fields and for demonstrating leadership and a strong commitment to community engagement.

Corona is an Education and Membership Specialist, where she has a key role in supporting nonprofit organizations through conference planning. She collaborates with councils to organize events, recruit speakers and create spaces to share knowledge to benefit the next generation of professionals. Corona also is an advocate for heritage and culture. As Miss Northern Illinois, a local title within the Miss America Organization, Corona uses her platform to emphasize the importance of sharing experiences to foster understanding and create solutions for change.

Palladino is a Senior Clinic Executive and assists physicians in scaling their business. This allows them to not only increase the number of patients they strive to help, but also aids doctors in getting to society. Palladino was President of the Italian Club at Addison Trail and is a Co-Founder of the Avanti Group (headquartered in Chicago), an Italian American networking organization for young adults.

The IAET, a nonprofit organization consisting of executives in the transportation and logistics industries, provides a platform for professionals to connect and promote the advancement of Italian Americans in these fields.
