Congratulations, We Are Proud of YOU!

Our Chair, Jack P. Seiler, was awarded the 2023 Patron of the Year and presented with a specially flown American Flag by the US Air Force at the Annual Military Employer Recognition Awards Breakfast at the Riverside Hotel, last Friday, April 28.

Heiko Dobrikow was the Master of Ceremonies, Broward County Mayor Lamar Fisher, and Bill Feinberg, along with many of our men and women who serve our Country in the National Guard, and the United States Reserve were all in attendance. A wonderful event in celebration of Fleet Week and the U.S. Navy Blue Angels. Congratulations to Jack. So well deserved. We are proud of YOU!
