City awarded reserve, guard support award

Clovis City Manager Ray Mondragon accepted the “Above and Beyond” award on behalf of the City of Clovis from the Committee for Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve at a recent state meeting of the organization.

ESGR is a committee of the Department of Defense that works to assist civilian employers in working with their employees who are members of the National Guard or the reserve components of the Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force.

Mondragon said Clovis was honored for exceptional support of city employees who are in the Guard and reserve.

“We endeavor to support our reservists and it’s very important that we do that,” Mondragon said. “Basically that’s what we were cited for.”
