Patriotic Employer

I nominated Theoris’ President, Dave Lovell, for the Patriot award because of his positive attitude and support of my service in the United States Marine Corps. My service often requires extensive travel with extended time out of the office. He has always given me maximum flexibility and never complains when he has to cover in my absence. In addition, Dave and Theoris as a company have gone above and beyond what is required by law in terms of compensation and time off, related to my service. This is significant as I often miss over 30 days of work per year. The Patriot Award was created by the Employment Support of Guard and Reserves (ESGR) in cooperation with the Department of Defense to publicly recognize individuals who provide outstanding patriotic support and cooperation to their employees who have answered their nation’s call to serve.  This is an annual award that is given for above and beyond efforts to include a wide-range of measures like flexible schedules, time off prior to and after deployment, caring for families, granting leaves of absence if needed, and overall support to the military member.
