BEM Systems, Inc. Leaders Recognized with ESGR Patriot Award

BEM Systems, Inc., an Aventia company, congratulates Dawn Bushey and Shayla Marshall for receiving the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve’s (ESGR) Patriot Award for supporting employees in the National Guard and Reserve.
 

Understanding the Patriot Award

The Patriot Award is the first in ESGR’s series of employer recognition awards. What makes it so special is that nominations come directly from National Guard or Reserve members, or their spouses, wishing to personally thank supervisors for their genuine support. By honoring individuals rather than organizations, the award shines a light on the sincere care and dedication behind everyday leadership.

According to ESGR, the Patriot Award recognizes supervisors who demonstrate a broad range of support, including:

  • Offering flexible schedules
  • Providing time off before and after military deployments
  • Supporting families of service members
  • Granting leaves of absence when necessary
These supportive actions—though they may not always make headlines—are essential to the well-being of our citizen-soldiers and truly help our military families thrive.
 

Honoring Dawn Bushey and Shayla Marshall

Dawn Bushey and Shayla Marshall consistently go above and beyond, showing true professionalism, responsiveness, and unwavering support for their colleagues at BEM Systems, Inc. Earning the ESGR Patriot Award is a heartfelt affirmation of their compassion and commitment to team members who honorably serve in the military.

While the nomination stories remain private, this meaningful award makes clear just how much Dawn and Shayla have touched the lives of those who serve. Their kindness and steadfast support have made a true difference.
