Citing its innovative practices in employing Veterans and servicemembers, The Chicago Lighthouse was given a special VELA (Veterans Employment Leadership Award) on May 27th, 2015.
Accepting the honor was Angela Kearney, human resources generalist who assists in recruiting Veterans for employment opportunities in call centers managed by The Lighthouse.
The award also saluted the agency for “recognizing the value and talent that Veterans bring to the workplace” and for “providing inspired leadership through a long-term commitment and partnerships with federal and state Veterans employment programs.”
Lighthouse President and CEO Dr. Janet Szlyk congratulated Ms. Kearney and her colleagues in the human resources department for this “amazing honor!” Dr. Szlyk noted that in just a few years, The Lighthouse has gone from employing one Veteran to nearly 70 and is fully committed to recruiting more.
