Offers training and job placement opportunities for military spouses

Washington, DC, Oct. 26, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation (NRAEF) is proud to announce its participation in the Department of Defense Military Spouse Employment Partnership, connecting military spouses with more than 390 partner employers who have committed to recruit, hire, promote and retain military spouses in portable careers.

The NRAEF officially joined the partnership on Oct. 16, 2018, at the annual Induction Ceremony held at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City at Reagan National Airport in Arlington, Va. The partnership launched on June 29, 2011, to serve spouses from all military services and focus on reducing unemployment for military spouses and veterans.

“We are thrilled to support those who currently serve, those who are veterans and, now through this partnership, military spouses,” said Rob Gifford, executive vice president of the NRAEF. “This is another win to support military members and their families in transitioning into our industry and providing them with pathways to advance into long-term careers.”

The restaurant industry currently employs 238,000 veterans. By joining the Military Spouse Employment Partnership, the Foundation will become part of an even larger collective effort to support military spouse employment.

The Foundation’s military program seeks to help currently serving military, their families and all veterans transition into careers in our industry, bridging the gap between those serving our country and entering the workforce to reduce veteran unemployment. The Foundation also recognizes excellence in military foodservice at installations around the world through its annual Military Foodservice Awards.

The Daily Reporter honors multiple Gilbane staff at annual awards ceremony

MILWAUKEE, Wis. (PRWEB) October 26, 2018

Gilbane Building Company is proud to announce that three team members in our Milwaukee office were honored with The Daily Reporter 2018 Newsmakers of the Year Awards. Senior Vice President Adam Jelen is being recognized as Executive of the Year, Dan Keaveney is being honored as Project Manager of the Year and Chad Knutson is being highlighted as Innovator of the Year.

“We are extremely proud to have three of our employees recognized by The Daily Reporter for their recent achievements.” said Erik Lindstrom, business development manager at Gilbane Building Company’s Milwaukee office. He added, “Adam, Dan and Chad are always looking for ways to improve the building process and continually go above and beyond what our clients ask for to deliver the best results.”    

Under the leadership and vision of Adam Jelen, Gilbane has grown into one of the leading builders in the State of Wisconsin. Gilbane recently built the Northwestern Mutual Tower and Commons and Potawatomi Hotel & Casino’s new 19-story hotel in Milwaukee; the Hill Farms State Office Building and Mixed-Use Development in Madison and is currently part of the Foxconn Wisconn Valley Science & Technology Park project in Mount Pleasant. In addition to these signature projects, Jelen has been an industry leader in helping put the people of Wisconsin to work on these projects. For the Wisconn Valley project, he has directed a comprehensive procurement (bidding) strategy for subcontractors, vendors, suppliers and professional services firms that follows a clear and detailed process with good faith efforts to place Wisconsin First while building significant capacity in both workforce and businesses.

Project Manager Dan Keaveney recently worked on the Northwestern Mutual Tower and Commons in Milwaukee, which has received numerous awards and accolades for the project’s commitment to local workforce success and mentorship programs. He also served as both project manager and project engineer on the 282,000 SF Kerry Global Technology and Innovation Centre in Naas, Ireland, which received a pair of Irish construction industry awards and an Engineering News-Record Manufacturing Global Best Project award. Keaveney is currently the project manager on the new high-rise hotel expansion at Potawatomi Hotel & Casino in Milwaukee consisting of 119 additional rooms.

Chad Knutson is a virtual design and construction (VDC) manager. His VDC efforts help many clients to better envision their projects, while realizing cost savings and improved schedules. Chad utilizes various technologies to increase effectiveness of design, construction and operation of a building. Going beyond the reach of the construction industry, Chad, a military veteran, has been instrumental in developing ideas on how to use virtual technology to share the Honor Flight experience with veterans who are unable to make the trip to Washington, DC. Chad and Gilbane’s local media staff have provided veterans with a unique virtual reality experience. Wearing an Oculus VR headset, veterans are virtually transported to an in-flight experience where they can visit DC memorials.

The Daily Reporter is a Wisconsin construction news and bidding opportunities resource that has been providing construction news to their readers for over a century and is the top source for construction data and projects for Wisconsin building professionals. Each year, The Daily Reporter recognizes outstanding members of Wisconsin’s building industry with the Newsmakers of the Year awards.

Major Girah Caraballo uses difficult experiences, as building blocks to achieve her goals. Veterans Airlift Command (VAC) is assisting Major Caraballo by providing free air transportation from Boston, Ma to Syracuse NY so that she can report to Reserve Officer Training on Saturday morning.

BOSTON (PRWEB) October 26, 2018

Major Girah Caraballo uses difficult experiences, as building blocks to achieve her goals. Veterans Airlift Command (VAC) is assisting Major Caraballo by providing free air transportation from Boston, MA to Syracuse NY so that she can report to Reserve Officer Training on Saturday morning.

Girah has always set high goals for herself. Starting with graduating from the U.S. Army Basic Airborne Course at the age of 20. She started serving in the 82nd Airborne Division as an Airborne Jumpmaster. “I’ll never forget flying aboard a C-17 to Iraq and being greeted on the tarmac of Baghdad International Airport by my own father,” Major Caraballo recounted of her first deployment overseas, coincidentally her father’s last. Girah was proud to continue a family tradition her father, then Command Sergeant Major Rafael Caraballo (now Ret). Major Girah Caraballo served as a critical care nurse transporting casualties for Joint Special Operations Task Force Philippines in support of Operation Enduring Freedom Philippines 2012.

As a flight nurse Major Girah dealt with catastrophic injuries daily, she is now recovering from complex unseen wounds and injuries. Despite the challenges she’s faced with, she continues to set life goals and use these difficult experiences as building blocks which motivate her to achieve her goals. In this process, Major Girah has committed herself to attend Reserve Officer training one weekend a month from now until May. This training requires her to do a monthly travel to Syracuse to Boston, MA. VAC is doing this for the Major because commercial air transport presents financial and complex personal challenges related to her time in service.

VAC is an organization who makes it possible for wounded military personnel, veterans, and their families to travel long distances free of charge. Andre Bohy, president of Omni Financial, is a VAC volunteer pilot who has flown multiple VAC missions. He is committed to volunteering his time and his plane to transport anyone in need. Omni Financial is proud to support the mission by paying for the fuel costs.

Andre Bohy and Omni Financial appreciate Major Girah Caraballo for her unparalleled perseverance, dedication and service to this country.

The 2019 class of new Honda models have already started to arrive at the Meridan Honda showroom. Shoppers looking for the latest crossover SUV, minivan and pickup truck options Honda has produced can see a comprehensive cross-section of those vehicles at the dealership. Additionally, Meridian Honda is paying tribute to those who have chosen to stand up and protect this country by offering veterans of America’s armed forces a special incentive to help them purchase a new Honda vehicle. Veterans shopping at Meridian Honda will be able to choose among any new vehicle in the inventory that hasn’t been previously titled.

Each 2019 Honda model that has arrived or will arrive at the showroom has a unique set of improvements. However, one model that may be particularly interesting to customers is the 2019 Honda HR-V subcompact crossover SUV. The new HR-V is still available in four well-equipped trim grades, LX, Sport, EX and EX-L. The biggest change to the 2019 Honda HR-V is the inclusion of Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ services on the vehicle’s trims above the entry-level LX model. Not only does the chief competitor of the 2019 Honda HR-V not offer this level of digital device integration, but it also comes up short in terms of available interior space. Potential buyers should contact the Meridian Honda showroom for more information about how the 2019 Honda HR-V compares to the competition.

One model that should be arriving soon is the 2019 Honda Fit. The automaker’s entry into the hatchback class is also available in LX, Sport, EX and EX-L trims and retains one of the most popular features in the Honda lineup, the flip-up rear seats. This allows it to offer significantly more interior cargo space than many of its competitors.

Veterans who want to use the discount program being offered at Meridan Honda should make sure they have the proper documentation ready to go. These documents can include a military ID card, discharge forms or Earnings and Leave Statements.

The entire Meridian Honda inventory can be viewed on the dealership’s website, http://www.meridianhonda.com. Buyers can visit the showroom that is located at 503 Front Street Ext. Meridian, MS 39301.
