INDIANAPOLIS, February 1, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Now, more than ever, it’s important to recognize those who have assisted the growing number of military spouses and veterans alike transition back into the civilian workforce. Bill Warren, Executive Director of DirectEmployers Association, was honored for just that.
In a ceremony held at the Pentagon, the Military Spouse Corporate Career Network (MSCCN) presented Warren with The Military to Civilian Jobs Network Alliance Award. Deborah Kloeppel, President and CEO of MSCCN states, “We are pleased to honor Mr. Warren for his valuable contribution in helping members and spouses of the National Guard and Reserve Families reenter the workforce after these individuals have selflessly served their country.”
