Employer Outreach is a key function of ESGR’s mission. Each year national and local level events are hosted across America by all 54 ESGR State Committees, including briefings with the boss, Bosslifts, Statement of Support (SoS) signings, trade shows, educational events, job fairs, and awards presentations. Through these events, staff and volunteers personally influenced more than 153,000 employers in fiscal year 2011 alone.
