On Wednesday, May 9th, The Massachusetts Committee for Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) spoke with members of the Massachusetts Business Roundtable at their annual breakfast meeting. The event was hosted by Charlie Jacobs, Executive Vice President of the Boston Bruins, at the Legends Restaurant in TD Banknorth Garden. During the Chef’s signature breakfast, members of the MA-ESGR committee met with senior executives from fifty of the largest private employers in Massachusetts to explain what ESGR was all about.

  After the breakfast, MA ESGR State Chairman Ken Forchielli extended a personal greeting from the MA ESGR and introduced Dr. Thomas Mulvaney who explained the critical role and importance of employers in today’s reserve force. Dr. Mulvaney provided those present with an information packet and overview of the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) law. Chief Executives and guests in attendance were encouraged to share this material with their senior human resources managers and contact MA ESGR if we may be of further assistance. Dr. Mulvaney encouraged senior executives to take a Statement of Support packet with them and to sign and post the statement in an appropriate location as a show of support for their employees who also serve in the Guard and Reserve.
