ESGR - Virgin Islands

ESGR - Virgin Islands Virgin Islands ESGR is a state committee for Employer Support of the Guard & Reserve(ESGR). Virgin Islands.

Who is ESGR

ESGR, a Department of Defense office, was established in 1972 to promote cooperation and understanding between Reserve Component Service members and their civilian employers and to assist in the resolution of conflicts arising from an employee's military commitment. ESGR is supported by a network of more than 4,900 volunteers in 54 committees located across all 50 states, the District

of Columbia, Guam-CNMI, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Volunteers, hailing from small business and industry, government, education and prior military service bring a vast wealth of experience to assist in serving employers, service members and their families. Together with Headquarters ESGR staff and a small cadre of support staff for each State Committee, volunteers work to promote and enhance employer support for military service in the Guard and Reserve. ESGR has served our country for more than 40 years, fostering 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. These citizen warriors could not defend and protect us at home and abroad without the continued promise of meaningful civilian employment for themselves and their families. ESGR has continued to adapt to meet the needs of Reserve Component members, their families and America’s employers by joining forces with a network of other national, state and local government and professional trade organizations as together, We All Serve!

ESGR held its prestigious annual Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award at the Pentagon today. The Freedom Award is the highest honor an employer can receive after being nominated by National Guard or Reserve employees as a recognition to the employers support for military duties.
“The support you give is extraordinary, because our reserve components have been very busy for the last 24 years. That’s not going to change, because, as we sit here today, we have nearly 50,000 reservists somewhere deployed on every continent of this world. That’s in addition to all the Guard members called up to support their state mission during hurricanes, tornadoes, and other disasters. So, to have extraordinary employer’s supporting your reservist so they can do what they signed up to do which is support our nation’s defense is very, very thankful.” ~John Sampa, ESGR National Chair
