The Area Chair/State Chair/State Vice Chair Award
is the next level of award. These awards are granted to those companies that have exceeded the requirements of the law in supporting their military member employees. The awards also can recognize individuals who have been vocal and supported their military member employees and/or the ESGR program.

The “Above and Beyond” Award is given in limited numbers annually by the state awards committee to recognize those employers who have exceeded the requirements of the law and provided support to their employees who serve in the military. These employers have adopted human resource policies that exceed the USERRA law and also give added benefits to those employees who serve in the military during their military duty.

The “Pro Patria” Award is the top award that can be given by the state ESGR committee. This award is given to only one company annually. It recognizes the employer who has given the most exceptional support of our national defense through leadership practices and personnel policies that support their employees who serve in the National Guard and Reserve.
