U.S. Coast Guard Reserve Commander Dan Godiksen talks about the City of Genoa City Water Light and Power’s support of his military career after Genoa CWLP was presented with the ESGR Above and Beyond Award. Godiksen accepted the award on his employer’s behalf. In the award nomination packet, Godiksen said “I have had the greatest level of support that an employee could ask for. My pay and benefits never missed a beat. When you have family at home, especially young children, you are always worried about their well-being. I never had that worry. My supervisor reached out to the other departments to make sure they were up to speed and my family was amazed to never have any worries about benefits. When I returned, I was afforded as much time as necessary to familiarize myself with new systems and procedures. I can’t thank them enough for the extra effort they showed me when I was the one to leave them.” Brig. Gen. Dan McDonough, the Assistant Adjutant General – Air of the Illinois National Guard and Commander of the Illinois Air National Guard, was the keynote speaker for the Illinois Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve Awards Banquet, May 17, at the Marriott in Normal, Illinois. The banquet honored employers throughout the state who have helped their National Guard and Reserve employees serve and defend their communities and nation. By supporting their service members, these employers are also defending our nation, McDonough said.
