The Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) presented its Seven Seals Awards at a special dinner on May 17 in Normal, Illinois. The award recognizes individuals who show significant initiative and achievement in the support of Guard and Reserve members.

Major Anthony Mini nominated Dave Johnson, Managing Partner at Pearl Technology, for the honor. Mini told the Illinois ESGR that the support and understanding Pearl Technology gives him is “beyond exceptional” and makes it possible for him and his family to balance civilian and military life.

Neither Johnson nor Mini were able to attend the ceremony, so Pearl Technology’s Joe Malley III (Technical Sergeant) and Pat Venditte were there to accept the certificate on Johnson’s behalf.
