The highest honor bestowed by Vermont ESGR State Committee
Richmond, Vermont, USA, 4th October 2022 -The Vermont Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) awarded their highest honor, the Pro Patria Award, to Greensea Systems, Inc. (Greensea) during a ceremony held on September 10th at the Army Mountain Warfare School in Jericho, Vermont. The Pro Patria Award is presented to recipients demonstrating the greatest support to Guard and Reserve employees through their leadership and practices, including adopting personnel policies that make it easier for employees to participate in the National Guard and Reserve.
Presented by Major General Greg Knight, Adjutant General State, of Vermont, during the annual Employer Awards & Recognition Banquet, the Award was received by Chelsea Allen, Vice President of Operations, on behalf of Greensea. Also attending the presentation was Niels Huisman, Program Manager at Greensea, and Staff Sergeant in the Vermont Army National Guard, who nominated Greensea for this recognition.
“It was my honor to accept the Pro Patria Award on Greensea’s behalf. Supporting our employees who have made the sacrifice to serve our country and community is a priority for us”, states Chelsea Allen. “We strive to make their service and sacrifice as stress free as possible, allowing them to have a few less things to worry about when they are called upon to serve. It was also an honor to be recognized as a US Department of Defense Freedom Award Nominee.”
“I nominated Ben Kinnaman and Greensea for the Pro Patria Award because Greensea places great value on military service. This is evident through the company hiring veterans and supporting all active Guard and Reserve members with time off both for military orders and non-working leave, ensuring they continue to receive pay and other company benefits during these periods. I personally experienced outstanding support during multiple, short-notice activations to support Vermont’s COVID-19 response.
Guard and Reserve employees are also checked in with regularly during duty periods, and our service and patriotism are recognized throughout the year. I cannot recommend Greensea enough for this award.” Says Niels Huisman, Program Manager at Greensea.
“In my entire working career, I have never worked for an organization more deserving of that recognition than Greensea Systems. I’m proud of the dedication and support Greensea shows their servicemember-employees, past and present, and consider myself fortunate to work for such an organization.” Niels continues.
Chelsea Allen adds, “More than 6% of Greensea’s workforce are active Guard members. We are strongly committed to supporting these employees, and hope that other and future employees interested in serving in the Guard will make that commitment.”
Greensea continues to hire for all three of its locations: Richmond, VT, Plymouth, MA, and San Diego, CA. Interested candidates should visit: Greensea.com/careers.
