“With Memorial Day approaching, it’s important to recognize the employers who have and still support American Guard and Reserve members to complete their patriotic missions,” said Abrahamyan. “Liana has been an outstanding supervisor and mentor since my first day at Phonexa. She deserves this award because she always goes above and beyond to help me grow within the company while also accommodating my annual tours, training, and other mission-critical assignments in the Air Force.”

Patriot Awards are part of ESGR’s Employer Award series. It is presented to individual supervisors who directly support service members and their families with flexible scheduling, time off before or after deployment, granting leaves of absence, family care, and more.

“I am grateful to receive the Patriotic Employer Award,” said Tonoyan. “It’s even more special to be nominated by a hard-working employee who inspires her teammates to be and do better for the workplace, the society, and our country.”
