Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Apr 18, 2024 (Issuewire.com) – Military Friendly(R) is proud to unveil the distinguished recipients of the 2024 Veteran Champions of the Year (VCOY) in Corporate America awards, honoring those who embody exceptional dedication to supporting America’s veterans in the civilian workforce.

This year, 58 exemplary champions have been selected for their unwavering advocacy on behalf of veterans and military employees across corporate America, government agencies, and non-profit organizations. These individuals are recognized for their roles in establishing and nurturing sustainable opportunities, services and programs within their respective organizations. Examples include recruiting and hiring initiatives, onboarding and mentoring programs, veteran network and affinity groups, bridging the cultural gap between veteran and non-veteran employees, recognizing military service within the organization, and working with veterans service organizations and other community groups.

Those chosen for the award do not have to be veterans themselves.

“The transition from military to civilian life can be challenging, even for the most prepared service members. The remarkable support and guidance provided by these advocates to help veterans thrive in their civilian careers are truly commendable,” said Dan Fazio, awards program manager. “We take immense pride in shining the spotlight on these 58 people.”

The 2024 Veteran Champions of the Year in Corporate America list will be featured in the June issue of G.I. Jobs magazine, a print and digital publication distributed globally to transitioning service members, veterans and their families.

About Military Friendly(R)

The Military Friendly(R) ratings program was started in 2003 as an advocacy vehicle to encourage civilian organizations to invest in programs to recruit, retain and advance veterans as employees, entrepreneurs and students. By providing a benchmark to aim for, by posting a “score,” this program has encouraged civilian organizations to help veterans thrive in the civilian workforce. We believe that this is the very cornerstone of creating sustainable civilian opportunities for veterans.
