Illinois ESGR

Employer Support of Guard and Reserve(ESGR), a Department of Defense program, was established in 1972 to promote cooperation and understanding between Reserve Service members and civilian employers, and to help resolve conflicts arising from an employee's military commitment. ESGR has more than 3,600 volunteers in 54 committees located across all 50 states, Illinois ESGR among them.
ESGR fosters a culture in which all employers support and value the employment and military service of members of the National Guard and Reserve in the United States. These citizen warriors could not defend and protect us at home and abroad without the continued promise of meaningful civilian employment for themselves and their families. ESGR has continued to adapt to meet the needs of Reserve Component members, their families, and America’s employers by joining forces with a network of other national, state, and local government and professional trade organizations. Together, We All Serve!
