SEATAC, Wash. – Mary Quantrell, general manager for Alaska Air Cargo at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, was presented with a Patriot Award May 16 by Larry Kirchner, military outreach representative for the Washington State Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve Committee, in recognition of her extraordinary support of an employee who serves in the United States Air Force Reserve.

MEAD, Wash. – When Stephen Wilson, owner of Mount Spokane Insurance, supports his employee who serves in the Washington Air National Guard, he is not only doing it because it is the right thing to do, and the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act, commonly referred to as USERRA, requires employers to be accommodating of their employees who serve in the National Guard and Reserves Components. 

OLYMPIA, Wash. – The Washington Employer Support for the Guard and Reserve Committee, a Department of Defense program whose mission is to educate reserve component members of their employment rights and responsibilities and recognizes supportive employers, recently held its Annual Plans and Awards Meeting (APAM) at the Red Lion-Olympia.
