Governor Pete Ricketts Recognizes Berry Law for Receiving Medallion for Hiring Veterans
Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts recognized and congratulated Berry Law (jsberrylaw.com) and three other companies in the state for earning Medallion awards from the U.S. Department of Labor’s HIRE Vets program. In a small ceremony at the Nebraska State Capitol on Thursday, December 3, the governor officially awarded the Medallions to Berry Law, ALLO Communications, Persevus, and Executive Airborne Solutions for making concerted efforts to attract and employ Veterans.
The HIRE Vets award is the only federal employment award that recognizes business efforts to successfully recruit, hire, and retain Veterans in the workplace. This is the third year that the award has been presented. Berry Law and Persevus won Platinum Medallions—the highest honor granted—and ALLO and Executive Airborne Solutions received prestigious Gold Medallions. The Medallions are based on metrics for veteran hiring and retention based on the size of the business, along with company efforts to integrate and mentor veterans.
“Veterans are our country’s greatest natural resource,” said Berry Law CEO John Berry. “We reach out to hire veterans, not just to honor their service but because they are generally great at providing an immediate positive impact to the team. The same skills and values that allowed them to succeed in the military can directly translate into civilian success.”
