Alexis Fishbone, NECC director of Financial Aid and Jeff Williams, NECC Veterans Services Coordinator<\/p><\/div>\n

Northern Essex Community College director of financial aid, Alexis Fishbone of Maynard, recently received the Office of the Secretary of Defense Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) Patriot Award.<\/p>\n

Jeffrey Williams, NECC veterans\u2019 services coordinator who currently serves in the Army Reserve, nominated her for the award. The first in ESGR’s series of awards is the Patriot Award.\u00a0 An employee serving in the National Guard or Reserve, or the spouse of a Guard or Reserve member, may nominate individual supervisors and bosses for support provided directly to the nominating Service member and his or her family.\u00a0 Patriot Awards are awarded to individual supervisors.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cThe Patriot Award reflects the efforts made to support citizen warriors through a wide-range of measures including flexible schedules, time off prior to and after deployment, caring for families and granting leaves of absence if needed,\u201d according to the ESGR website.<\/p>\n

Fishbone received a framed Department of Defense Certificate of Appreciation and lapel pin.\u00a0 The certificate recognizes Fishbone as a Patriotic Employer for contributing to national security and protecting liberty and freedom by supporting employee participation in America\u2019s National Guard and Reserve force.<\/p>\n

ESGR\u2019s mission is to foster a culture in which all employers support and value the employment and military service of members of the National Guard and Reserve in the United States.<\/p>\n
