In line with SASE’s new Military Initiative, SASE has created SASEsalutes: an awards program to recognize the dedication and sacrifice of those within the SASE community with U.S. military service. To support the transition of veterans entering the civilian workforce, acknowledge the achievements of Asian Pacific Islander Americans (APIA) within the U.S. Military, and build awareness about the merits and benefits of a military career within the APIA community.
The SASEsalutes Military Service Awards are awards that organizations utilize to highlight their outstanding employees with military service. Organizations nominate individuals as they meet or exceed the criteria in one of three categories. All nominees who qualify are recognized. Each organization is limited to a maximum of five SASEsalutes Military Service Awards nominations. Nominations may be in one, two or all categories but may not exceed five in total.
Please join us in nominating and celebrating all the wonderful achievements, leadership and success of those who have served in the U.S. Military.
