    Kansas ESGR 1

    The strategic alliance with the Employer Partnership of the Armed

    Forces (EPAF) gives ESGR volunteers useful resources to provide in-

    creased value to employer and service member customers.

    Volunteers should familiarize themselves with the functionality of the

    career website: www.EmployerPartnership.org, review the search func-

    tions and opportunities available for service members and partners in

    this area (if you are a veteran or family member, sign up, sign in and

    build a resume). Being familiar to promote the program by giving demon

    strations will provide hands-on assistance to service members during

    Yellow Ribbon Reintegration and other events. (how to directions continued on page 3)

    The Kansas EPF Program Support Manager (PSM) is Bob Hancock([email protected] ). ESGR volunteers may send an email of in-

    troduction to make the EPAF PSM aware of their interest to help and

    the skills they can offer. Other available resources can be found at

    Kansas Works (www.kansasworks.com) and Yellow Ribbon Program

    (www.yellowribbon.mil). [All links can be found on www.esgr.mil.]

    Offer your writing and coaching skills to service members via the EPAF

    PSM. Resume and cover letter assistance are important, as well as job

    interview practice. Mentor job seekers.

    The ESGR/EPAF alliance has the potential to significantly reduce the

    reserve component unemployment rates and provide responsible, disci-

    plined, drug-free employees for our country.Copy by LTC Matt Leonard and Colleen Alle

    190th Refueling Wing Educates Employers

    From the State ChairEach time I conduct or attend anESGR event recognizing out-

    standing Employers, Service Mem-

    bers or activities that one of ourcommittee members have con-

    ducted, I am astonished. Youcant believe how proud I am of all

    that we do. Since the last bulletin

    we have conducted numerousactivities across the state and

    many more are scheduled.

    As this fiscal year nears the end(September 30) we find that we

    have been fortunate to have all of

    our activities funded. The partici-

    pation of committee members is

    unbelievable and continues toamaze me. We have exceeded our

    goals and have briefed hundreds

    of Employers as well as Service

    members. This is only accom-

    plished by the great committee

    members that provide their timeas volunteers. Our full time staff

    does a superb job. Their efforts

    should not go unnoticed and they

    should be commended.

    As we plan for the next fiscal

    year we will face greater chal-

    lenges. We, as a committee, will

    have to do what we are doing nowwith less. Our budget will be less

    than in the past and there will be

    no additional monies available.The steering committee will face

    the challenge of planning and

    executing activities with moreimagination and less funding.

    Will this affect our ability to

    support the Service Members and

    educate Employers? No, we as a

    committee will find a way to meet

    our goals and support all that need

    our support. I look forward for a

    great year to come and the last

    three months of this fiscal year

    are filled with activities that areexciting and rewarding to all.

    Thanks to the Employers, Service

    Members and Committee Members

    for their support and stepping

    forward to make this a great team

    and a successful team.

    On April 11th, 2011, Kansas ESGR spon-

    sored 10 bosses on a Civic Leader

    Flight on a refueling flight with the 190th Air

    Refueling Wing out of Topeka,

    Ks. During the flight, they got to observe the

    refueling of a B-52. They

    were briefed by the 190th crew before theflight, and got to witness the

    flight crew in action in the skies above Mis-

    souri and Oklahoma. Kansas State Chair

    Mick Allen presented an ESGR briefing.
