SHREVEPORT, La.—Frymaster, LLC, an Enodis company, was among 21 Louisiana employers nominated by state Guard and Reserve personnel for consideration for the 2008 Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award. The award is the highest recognition given by the Federal government to employers exhibiting exceptional support of employees serving in the Guard and Reserve. More than 2,000 nominations were received nationwide.
“This nomination means so much to our company,” said Gene Baugh, president of Frymaster. “We do our best to support our associates and their families when military service calls. It’s a very challenging time and we want them to know that we, as a corporate family, support them at home.”
A national selection board of senior defense officials and business leaders will select up to 15 recipients nationwide. Winners will be honored by the Department of Defense this summer and fall in Washington, DC.
The Freedom Award was created in 1996 by the Department of Defense to recognize exceptional support from the employer community for members of the Guard and Reserve. Previous honorees include American Express, General Motors and Home Depot.
