Brian Martinson, an Idaho Environmental Coalition Project Controls Director, received the Patriotic Employer Award Feb. 27 from the Idaho Employer Support for the Guard and Reserve program. In addition, IEC President and Program Manager Dan Coyle accepted the ESGR's Above and Beyond Award on behalf of his organization. The Patriotic Employer Award is presented to employers who show exceptional support for employees who serve in National Guard or Reserve components. The Above and Beyond Award is presented to organizations for outstanding service and continuing support to national defense. Nominations for both Idaho ESGR awards come from employees who want to recognize and thank their supervisors or organizations for the support they provide to ensure Guardsmen and Reservists are able to achieve balance between their obligations to their civilian jobs and their service to their state and nation. #ESGR #nationalguard
