Happy New Year from DAI!

 

I love the start of the New Year. There's always an excitement and energy as we look forward to new goals, new resolutions, and new opportunities.

 

At DAI, we're welcoming all that 2015 has to offer. Already this year, our COO joined the Board of Directors for one of our nonprofit partners; we have new positions for talented professionals looking for exciting career opportunities; and we are looking ahead to 2015's Secretary of Defense Freedom Award winners.

 

Thank you for supporting the DAI Advisor, and remember, past editions can always be accessed on our archive page.

DAI Supports ESGR's Freedom Award Nomination Season

  

The 2015 ESGR Freedom Award Nomination Season will come to a close on Monday, January 19. The Secretary of Defense Freedom Award is the highest recognition given by the U.S. Government to employers for their outstanding support of employees serving in the Guard and Reserve. Outreach campaigns are underway in all 50 states and four territories with press releases, social media messaging, radio PSAs and interviews with ESGR State and National leadership to highlight this awards program.

 

Each year, up to 15 employers who have demonstrated exemplary support of their Guard and Reserve employees receive the Freedom Award and come to Washington, DC for an official ceremony hosted by the Secretary of Defense. This year's ceremony will be held at the Pentagon in late August.
