Andy, Co-Owner at Audia Group, received a Certificate of Appreciation during the Chief of Navy Reserve Navy Employer Recognition Event (NERE) for her dedication and support of employees who serve in the Navy Reserve, ensuring that sailors are “Always Ready. Anytime, Anywhere.” “Employer support is absolutely critical to the Navy Reserve’s mission,” said Vice Adm. Robin R. Braun, Chief of Navy Reserve. “We currently have 2,100 Reserve Sailors deployed around the world. Making sure those Reserve Sailors have a job when they come back from that year-long mobilization is critical, and that’s why this event is wonderful. We’re recognizing employers who have given outstanding support to their Navy Reserve Sailor. In fact, many of the employers here have Sailors who are deployed right now overseas. So this is a great opportunity for us to recognize them for the outstanding support they give.” NERE is a Navy familiarization day sponsored by the Chief of Navy Reserve to recognize employers who provide sailors with superior support, and provide them an opportunity to see firsthand what Reserve Sailors do every day.

In many cases, they’re also helping out families while their Sailor is deployed.” Canon-Mac | Fall 2016 | icmags.com 9
