CALIBRE Systems Inc.(CALIBRE) announced June 22 that the company has been awarded the 2016 Outstanding Veteran and Military Advocate Award at the Northern Virginia Chamber of Commerce Annual Outstanding Corporate Citizenship Awards Luncheon held on June 21.
“This honor recognizes CALIBRE’s corporate culture and our company’s long-term commitment to support veterans and active, guard, and reserve military personnel and their families,” CALIBRE President and CEO Joe Martore said. “By engaging personally and corporately, CALIBRE is able to make a positive impact and provide improved support to our veteran, military clients, business partners, and charitable support organizations focused on these communities.”
Presented across seven categories, the NVCC Outstanding Corporate Citizenship Awards honor extraordinary business leadership and above-and-beyond corporate social responsibility. The Outstanding Veteran and Military Advocate Award was presented to CALIBRE for outstanding and visionary contributions to supporting the region’s active-duty/reserve military, their families and veterans during the past year.
