BURLINGTON, Massachusetts—November 20, 2019— Everbridge, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVBG), the global leader in critical event management and enterprise safety software applications to help keep people safe and businesses running, is honored to receive the Above and Beyond Award by the Department of Defense ESGR (Employment Support for the Guard and Reserve). The Award recognizes employers who have gone above and beyond to promote supportive work environments for members of the U.S. National Guard and Reserve.
“We share a deep sense of responsibility toward those who keep us safe,” said David Meredith, CEO of Everbridge. “Everbridge proudly supports our military employees and their families in times of peace, crisis and war, and we actively look for opportunities to employ Guards, Reservists, and Veterans. I am also proud of our managers and the ongoing support they provide to our employees who dedicate their time to serving our country.”
Two Everbridge leaders received the prestigious Patriot Award from the Department of Defense ESGR. The award is nominated by a currently serving service member for the support and latitude granted by their supervisor or manager. The two Everbridge leaders recognized are Joe Pappalardo, Director of Sales, and Riz Karim, Vice President, Global Services and Support.
Everbridge recently established an in-house Military and Veterans Resources Group, comprised of currently serving or veteran members of the Armed Forces and those interested in giving back to the veteran community at large. With a focus on fostering camaraderie, the Group provides a platform for shared experiences, ensures a strong “landing pad” for Everbridge team members, and identifies volunteer and fundraising opportunities to benefit veteran’s organizations.
Everbridge has also a demonstrated commitment to providing support, operational assistance, and security and risk management to federal agencies including the U.S Army and other divisions of the Department of Defense. In 2018, Everbridge achieved FedRAMP Agency Authorization for its Everbridge Suite solution. FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program) is a government-wide program that provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services.
Established in 1972, ESGR is the lead U.S. Defense Department program promoting cooperation and understanding between civilian employers and their National Guard and Reserve Employees.
