There are many ways to get more involved.

• Bosslifts – Employers are transported, via military aircraft, to military facilities where they observe National Guard and Reserve members on duty.
• Briefing With the Boss – Brings together employers, unit commanders, ESGR volunteers and community leaders to discuss issues related to service in the National Guard and Reserve.
• Statement of Support Signing Ceremonies – By signing a Statement of Support for the Guard and Reserve, an employer demonstrates an understanding of the importance of military service. It also sends a clear message to employees who serve in the military that they don’t have to worry about their civilian jobs.

Contact your local committee for more information on how you can become involved.

If you have a inquiry about the law or a potential issue with your employee who is also in the uniformed services, let us know, as we are here to answer questions or to provide assistance between you and your employee, based on the federal USERRA law.
