Five More U.S. Companies Join U.S. Army Reserve Employer Partnership Initiative
WORCESTER, Mass. — Fallon Clinic, a large, multi-specialty medical group practice in Central Massachusetts, Friday signed a memorandum of agreement to partner with the U.S. Army Reserve to bring the Employer Partnership Initiative (EPI) to the Fallon Clinic workplace. This initiative facilitates strategic and mutually beneficial relationships between employers and associations to recruit and train soldiers who are interested in securing a position in the growing field of healthcare, while they continue to provide service to our country. These soldiers will be training to fill needs in various healthcare-related fields, such as respiratory therapy, radiology, and physical therapy.
"At Fallon Clinic we believe that our success is directly linked to the quality of the people we hire," said Randi Nichols, executive vice president, Human Resources and Operations Support Services. "By partnering with the U.S. Army Reserve, we will attract and hire dedicated employees who are proven leaders, and also strengthen Fallon Clinic's impact on the success of our country's active military and veterans."
In partnering with the Army, Fallon Clinic has promised to employ or seek to employ qualified members of the Army Reserve and maintain a commitment to hiring and supporting the dedicated women and men who protect and serve the United States. Through this program, the Army Reserve and Fallon Clinic will collaborate on workforce development issues, including training, professional development and credentialing.
"The Army Reserve Employer Partnership is a human capital strategy that recognizes and characterizes the interconnectedness of business America and the Army Reserve," said Lt. Gen. Jack C. Stultz, chief of the Army Reserve, and commanding general, U.S. Army Reserve Command. "My vision is that corporate America considers the Army Reserve the number one source of professional, well-trained and experienced leaders. Just as our nation recognizes the Army Reserve as a good return on investment, my hope is that similarly, companies recognize Army Reserve soldiers as a sound investment in human talent."
It was the end of a great week for Army Reserve Soldiers. Every day a new partner signed an agreement to help build and develop Americans talent with the U.S. Army Reserve. In Michigan a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, Ladlas Prince, became a partner Monday. Tuesday, Southwest Airlines landed long enough to join. The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center wasn't far behind on Wednesday and Thurday International chemical company BASF Corporation rounded it out.
The Army Reserve is a community-based federally directed force of highly-skilled, patriotic men and women that provides our nation with trained units and qualified Soldiers during peacetime, contingencies and war. Today, about 206,000 trained Army Reserve Soldiers in units across the country stand ready to serve the nation when called upon by the President of the United States.

In the front (left to right)Maj. Gen. Mari K. Eder; Jim Sylvester, chief deputy Travis County Sheriff's Office; Lee Leffingwell member of the Austin City Council; Allen Bergeron; (rear) Bruce Cummings, president, Gila Corperation, James Rebholz; Maj. Gen. Keith Lee Thurgood, commanding general Army and Air Force Exchange Service; Olin Brewster; Maj. Mark Sawa, human resource manger Sheriff’s Office; and Sgt. Maj. Nelson Ildefonso, vice president of operations, Employer Partnership Initiative.AUSTIN, Texas - The U.S. Army Reserve, Austin City and two local employers agreed to work collaboratively to develop long-term staffing solutions for America's Soldiers and veterans Friday.
"I am proud the City of Austin will participate in the Employer Partnership Initiative," said Lee Leffingwell, a member of the Austin City Council. "Through our new 'Veterans Preference' program, we are working to ensure that qualified veterans interview for positions available at the city. The initiative will help us locate some of the best and brightest applicants for these jobs based on the experiences and skills developed during military service."
Leffingwell said the city government knows the kind of skills service members bring to work – 1,400 of its 12,000 employees are veterans. It also understands the stress employers and families experience when those Citizen-Soldiers deploy - 23 of the areas 270 active Army Reserve and National Guard units are currently deployed.
Regardless the city, one of eight Texas employers presented with a Pro Patria Award by the Texas Employer Support for the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) in 2008, and its committed to the service members and families is not unwavering, Leffingwell said.
Maj. Gen. Mari K. Eder, deputy chief, U.S. Army Reserve, credited ESGR’s relationship with the city for Friday’s success.
"The Employer Parnters signed in Austin were the direct result of our friends in the Texas ESGR promoting the program," said Maj. Gen. Mari K. Eder, who attended the signing. "I'd especially like to thank all the Texas ESGR valunteers for their spirit."
The Travis County Sheriff's Office and Gila Corporation also signed agreements.
Chief Deputy Jim Sylvester said with 66 of its 1,600 employees either Army Reserve or National Guard the department already understands the unique sacrifice Guard and Reserve members make to serve their country. However, the department appreciates the benefit of employing men and women with Army values, experience and proven leadership skills.
Currently it has openings for both officers and nurses.
Founded in 1991 the Gila Corporation as hired 160 new employees in the last year. The company, which outsources collections, payment processing and call center services to governmental entities, financial and higher education institutions nationwide, is looking for IT personal, client service managers, and bilingual account managers.
The Army Reserve’s Employer Partnership Initiative (EPI), allows these companies and the Austin City to recruit, train and employ individuals interested in serving the nation while pursuing diverse careers in government and private enterprise. Since April 2008, more than 200 of our nation’s leading employers have partnered with the Army Reserve on this initiative, including corporations, industry associations, state agencies and local law enforcement.
