Superintendent Woods receives Patriotic Employer Award

6/24/2018

 
One of just thirteen Georgia employers recognized for supporting employees who are in the Guard and Reserve

State School Superintendent Richard Woods was one of just thirteen Georgia employers to receive the Patriotic Employer Award from Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR), a Department of Defense office.

He was nominated by Commander Justin Hill, who works at the Georgia Department of Education as State Coordinator for the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) program.
​
“Superintendent Woods has taken the time to both privately and publicly thank me for my service to this country,” Hill said. “He has written personal notes of thanks and even attended my most recent promotion ceremony to the rank of Commander (O5) in October 2017. At this ceremony, Mr. Woods stated his support to me, my family and to those in attendance. His support has caused a positive ripple effect throughout the entire agency. My family has never felt so supported and appreciated. It is a pleasure and honor to support a supervisor that holds my service and sacrifice in such high regard.”

“I grew up in a military family and, knowing some of the difficulties our service members face, I’ve tried to make the Department of Education a friendly, supportive place for them to work. I’m humbled and honored to receive this award – and to be nominated by an employee who’s both a stellar member of our team and someone who has served his country with distinction.” -- Superintendent Woods
