Independence Community College announces that a selection for the 2023 Employee Veteran Leadership Awards is an ICC employee.

 Tommy Ellis, Director of Veteran Student Success, has been selected for the 2023 EVLA's, announced by Military Friendly. The annual honor recognizes US military veterans who embody the best qualities of our nation's military, such as leadership, teamwork, discipline, determination, adaptability, a strong work ethic, and a can-do attitude, as employees of an organization.

 Twenty-six EVLA honorees were selected for their positive impact on their organizations and the military and veteran community. These veteran employees are passionate about promoting the advancement of their fellow veterans, mentoring others, and bridging the gap between veteran and non-veteran employees. They also demonstrate their commitment by volunteering their time.

 The 2023 Employee Veteran Leadership Awards list will be published in the June issue of G.I. Jobs, distributed for free in digital and print formats to transitioning service members, veterans, and their families worldwide.

 Ellis says the recognition simply reinforces the belief that being a veteran can have ongoing, life-long responsibilities, but also unexpected rewards.
