SPIRIT OF VOLUNTEERISM AWARD

With great admiration, Delaware ESGR presented the  SPIRIT OF VOLUNTEERISM award to Gene Hebert at their 2010 Recogntion Banquet.  Since 1999, Gene has volunteered and worked diligently with ESGR.  As our current Chair Emeritus, he experienced the days before support staff existed, and kept the wheels of the mission rolling.  As a retired Colonel in the Air Force Reserve – and, retired Verizon employee after 32 YEARS, he is a citizen warrior himself, and understands first hand the importance of working relationship between employer- military employee.
