The San Diego County Regional Airport Authority will receive the Veterans Employee of the Year award from the California Employer Advisory Council on May 9.
The council says it gives the award to employers who consistently demonstrate positive policies toward U.S. veterans in hiring, promotion, employee retention efforts, ongoing training and benefits.
The San Diego area has a large veteran and military population and the authority organizes an annual veterans job fair, among other initiatives.
Of the authority’s 337 employees, 62 are veterans. Eight of these employees are disabled veterans.
Full discolsure: my dad is a retired Army social worker and one of my uncles is a jarhead.
