Five Ira Motor Group Leaders Recognized with Patriot Award for Supporting National Guard Employee
Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR), part of the U.S. Department of Defense, has honored five leaders from Ira Motor Group—Justin Lotter, Lyndsay Tatro, Bernie Spann, Devon DaSilva, and Kayshawn Joly—with the Patriot Award for their support of Matthew Hildebrand, a National Guard employee who was deployed for 12 months. The award recognizes individuals who provide exceptional backing to employees serving in the military reserves or guard. The leaders were recognized for ensuring that Hildebrand's job would be available upon his return from deployment and providing other forms of support such as flexible scheduling and time off before and after service. Jon Zilloux, Market Director at Ira Motor Group, emphasized the company’s commitment to supporting those who serve their country. ESGR aims to promote employer understanding of military obligations while recognizing supportive workplace practices that help maintain readiness in National Guard and Reserve units.
