Allen, Vice President of Sales - National Accounts, has been named as a recipient of the Patriotic Employer Award on behalf of Niagara.
Bestowed by the Office of the Secretary of Defense, Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR), this award recognizes employees and employers for contributing to national security and protecting liberty and freedom by supporting employee participation in America's National Guard and Reserve Force.
Upon delivering the award, Nathan, Sr. Regional Sales Manager and a member of Allen's team, personally thanked Allen: “Thank you for your unwavering support, understanding, and encouragement that have allowed me to pursue my military career in the USMC Reserve.”
Nathan has dedicated several years to the United States Marine Corps Reserves. Before starting with Niagara in 2011, he served on active duty for seven years in the Marines, holding various roles including Platoon Commander, Operations Officer, and Executive Officer, where he directly supervised military personnel and tactical training events.
We are proud to announce that our Texas plants have been recognized for a second consecutive year by the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) and Texas Veterans Commission (TVC) for our participation in the “We Hire Vets” program.
Launched in 2017, “We Hire Vets” is an employer recognition program developed by the TWC to recognize Texas employers for their commitment to hiring veterans. Employers whose workforce is composed of at least 10 percent military veterans are eligible for the “We Hire Vets” designation, which allows the employer to use the logo on their website and facility.
“We Hire Vets” is a component of TWC’s Texas Operation Welcome Home initiative, a program designed to better meet the needs of transitioning service members, recently separated veterans, and military spouses in Texas.
