By: Jack Lott Mr. Dicks was awarded the silver Presidential Volunteer Service Award for his total commitment to the mission of the ESGR in the state of Florida. The silver award signifies nearly 500 hours of volunteerism to the ESGR organization during the year. The Florida ESGR Chairman, Phillip Speake, told the FLESGR volunteer committee members and dignitaries in attendance, “James Dicks’ genuine awareness of the needs of the employers and to the gallant men and women of the National Guard and Reserve that American business and U.S. government agencies support during this time of international conflict is an important reason as to why we are so successful in the state. James selflessly spends hours delivering our important message to businesses around the state, as well as to the Florida state National Guard and Reserve military community.” The President’s Volunteer Service Award recognizes individuals, families, and groups that have achieved a certain standard – measured by the number of hours of service over a 12-month period or cumulative hours earned over the course of a lifetime. Recognizing and honoring volunteers sets a standard for service, encourages a sustained commitment to civic participation, and inspires others to make service a central part of their lives. ESGR is a Department of Defense organization and its committee members volunteer their time in support of the men and women of the Guard and Reserve, their families and employers. There are 11,000 employers in the state of Florida that have hired National Guard and reserve personnel. As the 1.3 million members (38,000 in Florida) of the National Guard and Reserve continue to perform an increasing number of unique missions within America’s borders as well as on the most dangerous battlefields around the world, ESGR will continue to be the resource for the employers of our citizen warriors.
