Representatives from the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) paid a visit to Desert Schools Federal Credit Union’s Papago office Wednesday, March 15, to present its Patriot Award to branch manager and Cave Creek resident Michelle Kurth. The award is given to an employer who has voluntarily decided to hold an employee’s position while he or she serves in the National Guard. The award was proudly presented by two ESGR representatives, Frank Sandell and Dan Irving. Since its inception, several thousands have been honored with the award. Once an employer receives this award, if they are selected again they are eligible to receive the national award, which is only given to 15 organizations annually.
