Twin Valley announced on May 2nd that Jason Gibbs, its Director of Network Operations, received the Patriot Award from the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve.

The Patriot Award was created to honor supervisors who go above and beyond in supporting employees who serve in the military. This includes a variety of measures, like creating flexible schedules, allowing time off before and after deployment, caring for families, and granting leaves of absence if needed.

Gibbs was nominated by Randall Hevelone, a Network Technician at Twin Valley, and a member of the U.S. Army Reserves. Hevelone nominated Gibbs because of his flexibility, encouragement, and leadership in supporting him as he served both his country and the community.
