"We are honored to receive this award for the second consecutive year. At Combined, we take great pride in being a number one military friendly employer," said Joe Vasquez, President of Combined Insurance. "We are committed to hiring veterans, because we believe veterans possess discipline, a strong work ethic and team-based approach, all which make them excellent employees who fit our culture well."

During the ceremony, Vasquez highlighted the company's ongoing commitment to the military community. Megan Everett, Veterans Program Director, McCormick Foundation, was the event's keynote speaker.

Chris Hale, CEO, VIQTORY, presented the official plaque to Bob Wiedower, VP of Sales Development and Military Program at Combined Insurance.

"Every day, I witness first-hand how veterans transitioning into civilian life flourish when they are supported by employers who appreciate their work ethic and commitment," said Hale. "VIQTORY is proud to give this award to Combined Insurance and recognize them for their proven dedication to the military community."

Since 2010, Combined has hired more than 5,200 veterans, military spouses and their family members, and is currently at 85% of their goal to hire 2,000 more by the end of 2019. In addition to providing meaningful employment, Combined Insurance also gives back to military and veteran-focused charities through employee volunteerism and corporate donations.
