ESGR Names New State Chairs https://lnkd.in/gbMcvzwu

Over the next 15 weeks, ESGR will be highlighting this year's recipients of the Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award. These are companies and organizations who employ Reservists and National Guard who have gone above and beyond showing their support for their uniformed member's military duties. This week's spotlight is Bartlett Roofing. #ESGR #freedomawards #bartlettroofing #SecDef

ESGR held its prestigious annual Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award at the Pentagon today. The Freedom Award is the highest honor an employer can receive after being nominated by National Guard or Reserve employees as a recognition to the employers support for military duties. “The support you give is extraordinary, because our reserve components have been very busy for the last 24 years. That’s not going to change, because, as we sit here today, we have nearly 50,000 reservists somewhere deployed on every continent of this world. That’s in addition to all the Guard members called up to support their state mission during hurricanes, tornadoes, and other disasters. So, to have extraordinary employer’s supporting your reservist so they can do what they signed up to do which is support our nation’s defense is very, very thankful.” ~John Sampa, ESGR National Chair #ESGR #FreedomAwards

The 2024 Freedom Award will be aired live next week August 22. We invite all to join in and see 15 incredible awardees receive this prestigious honor.

This is one of the many reasons I do this job - recognizing the support and indeed the sacrifices made by those who employ our Reserve Component Service Members. A primary project I work on each year is running the selection process that ultimately results in the fifteen annual recipients of the Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award. It's a long and sometimes frustrating process but an overwhelmingly rewarding one. Congratulations and Well Done to these employers for 2024. Five public sector employers, five large businesses (500+ employees), and five small businesses. All deserving and we at ESGR thank you all. Oh, and maybe best of all, I get to emcee the awards ceremony in the Pentagon next month where each recipient will be there along with their Service Member employees. Really looking forward to that.
