Chairmans Message:

State of Colorado ESGR for Year 2013

As we enter into Year 2014, I would like to report to you on howESGR did in this past year. And in my hopefully unbiased way, Ithink we did pretty well. But we still have a ways to go.

On most of our metrics that we are measured by, we did extremelywell. Our ESGR Volunteer base continued to grow, as did ourVolunteer Hours. We are working to improve on the number ofGuard and Reserve that we brief, and in our Ombudsman efforts,as those were our two areas that we need to improve upon.

With the Freedom Award, we were the only state to have all threeof our nominees in the top 30 finalists (out of some 2889nominees), and two of those were selected for the prestigiousFreedom Award. We are very proud of our two winners: DaVita,Inc, and Colorado Springs Utilities, and finishing in the top thirty is

not exactly bad either, for JGMS, of Grand Junction.

We were heavily involved in helping our Guard and Reserve members in their employment efforts. Weorganized and helped structure and run two of our three day Military and Veterans EmploymentEXPOs, one in Denver in January 2013, and the other in Colorado Springs in May of 2013. Werecently distributed our Report on the five MVEEs that we have held during the last two years, andare satisfied that the results we have obtained from these events, usually servicing over 1000 Guardand Reserve, active duty military, retired, and spouses at each, are significantly much better than thetypical job fairs so many put on or better in fact than any other type of hiring event that we are awareof.

OurAnnual Awards Banquet continued to draw close to 400 guests, with this year being honored byhaving our ESGRs new National Chairman, Mr. Paul Mock, in attendance, speaking at the Banquet

and remaining for our Saturdays Volunteer Conference. We are already planning this years Banquetfor May 30, 2014 at the Hyatt Regency in the Tech Center, again with several top notch speakers.The following day (Saturday, May 31) is our once a year All Volunteer Conference, and this year weare pushing hard on a greater turnout of our Volunteers, as this is the only time during a year wherewe try to get all our Volunteers together.

We started this year to hold a leadershipcourse for those ESGR Volunteers who aspire to play moreleading roles in ESGR. The day and a half event was attended by some 20 Colorado ESGRVolunteers who applied to attend, as well as two ESGR Volunteers from Wyoming. We think there isvalue in having Volunteers from surrounding states attend which brings about cross fertilization ofideas and approaches. We are going to do this again this year, with the dates being now selected.

We are trying very hard to work with more employers and are achieving some success. We wanthose employers to not only support and value the employment and military service of the NationaGuard and Reserve in the United States, but to realize and utilize the employment services availableto them from governmental entities that they are already funding through their taxes which wireduce their costs in hiring and retaining employees.

So through individual contacts with more of our Colorado employers, through our MVEEs, througour meetings with the BOSS program and our BOSSLIFTs, through our Awards Banquet and otheemployer meetings, through our growing efforts of publicizing our efforts, through continuing toexpand our reach throughout the state by having ESGR Area Chairs now in some 11 localities (andsoon to grow to 13), and through the dedicated and substantial efforts of our ESGR Volunteers, wecontinue to make real progress here in Colorado.

To your employers, thank you working with us, for supporting our efforts, and for realizing the valuethat our military service members bring to your workplace.

So for all our ESGR Volunteers, a most sincere thank you. You can take full credit for the advancewe have and are making.

Jobs program connects Reserve, Guardmembers to employers

BYDONNAMILES, AMERICANFORCESPRESSSERVICE

WASHINGTONTwo years ago, the civilian employment situatiofor members of the National Guard and reserve was bleak.

The economy had taken a downturn, causing unemployment ratenationwide to rise, including rates for veterans. But particularlytroubling to Ronald Young, executive director of Employer Support o

the Guard and Reserve, was that unemployment among reserve component members hit a record highof 13 percent in 2011.

It was higher than for the general population and almost double that of the veteran population,Young said. So we took a very aggressive approach to instituting employment initiative

programs across the country to get at that challenge.

The cornerstone of that effort was the Hero 2 Hired program, created to make it easy foreserve-component service members to connect to and find jobs with military-friendly companies.

We put together a comprehensive program that used a very high -tech approach, Young saidincluding online career exploration tools, military-to-civilian skills translations, education and training

resources and even a mobile app.To support the program, 56 employment transition coordinators, many of them ESGR volunteers, fanneout to every corner of the United States to provide career counseling and resume assistance to

job-seekers and to interface with employers seeking to fill positions.

We saw this as an opportunity to leverage the 4,900 ESGR volunteers and their day-to-dainterface with emp loyers to talk about wh at great business sense it makes to employ Guard and

reserve members,Young said.

In addition, a vehicle known as the Hero 2 Hired mobile job store regularly rolls into career fairs andother venues to deliver the job search resources where its easily accessible by the military communitySmall kiosks that rotate between Guard and reserve units also help increase awareness of the program.

Guard and reserve members make great employees, Young said. Theyre strong leaders andoutstanding followers, exhibiting loyalty, dedication and motivation to their missions. They demonstrateother attributes that employers are clamoring for: professionalism, responsibility, punctuality, a can-doattitude, understanding of diversity and an ability to remain calm under pressure, among them.

But when Young met with corporate leaders during a Clinton Global Initiative session in 2011, herecognized that employers didnt know how to tap into this potential.

Across the board, the one thing they said was, We want to hire them. We just dont know howto get access to them, he said.

Two years since its standup, Hero 2 Hired is helping to bridge that gap. Almost 20,000 employers nowpost their job announcements on the Hero 2 Hired jobs website. The site, which 151,000 servicmembers and their spouses now use, provides not only leads about job openings but also information

about interview skills, resume templates and links to employment resources.

Young attributes more than 11,000 hires to the program. In addition, through Hero 2 Hire's partnershipwith the Joining Forces initiative led by First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden, wife of VicePresident Joe Biden, and other public- and private-sector job programs, he estimates that 100,000reserve component members and veterans have landed jobs.

This is a way to link together those looking for jobs and those looking to fill jobs with veteransand Guard and reserve members, Young said. We are just one of the contributing partnersworking at attacking this particular issue. But we believe we are having a definite impact.

A recent DOD survey of Guard and reserve members revealed that their unemployment rate hadropped 2 percent, Young reported.

So this is trending in the right direction, and our hope is that it will continue going that way, hsaid.

But the best measure of success, he said, are the testimonials of those who have benefitted directly fromthe program.

A 23-year old Air National Guard member was desperate for a job -- any job -- when he met wit

Employment Transition Coordinator Joe Fletcher. The airman had been living in his car for the previousthree days to help save money for gas to return home after a drill weekend. He acknowledged during hismeeting with Fletcher that he didnt have a resume or knew how to pursue a job interview.

Fletcher helped him create a resume that highlighted his skills in welding and operating heavy equipmenand helped him prepare for an interview. It didnt take long for the airman to land a job that paid $30 anhour.

A former airmen who started using the Hero 2 Hired job website before separating from the military saidit worked better than any other employment site he had tried. As a result, he landed a position as a shifmaintenance supervisor for a commercial airline with a starting date just six days after leaving themilitary.

A Louisiana National Guardsman said Hero 2 Hired helped him get in contact with several companies ovarying sizes, getting interview opportunities and several job offers.Sue Wegner, wife of Army Chief Warrant Officer 4 Ralph Wegner, credited the program with helping heobtain a job as a laboratory test specialist.

You helped me with rewrit ing my resume in a mo re emp loyer-fr iendly way, along w ith helpingwith interview tips, she said. Thanks to you, I had great success. Within two weeks of leavingyou, I had two job interviews, and a week later I had job offers from [two] companies!
