STI honors military employees and families
The contractor asks its more than 9,000 employees to recognize those at the company who have served in the armed forces or are in active duty as part of Military Appreciation Month. The recognitions will continue throughout the year.
In honor of Military Appreciation Month, Student Transportation Inc. (STI) is highlighting its employees and their family members who have served or continue to serve in the military.
In support of the company-wide initiative, STI is asking its more than 9,000 employees within the company and its operating subsidiaries, Student Transportation of America and Student Transportation of Canada, to recognize and honor those within the STI family who have served in the armed forces or are in active duty.
"One of the core values of STI is our commitment to the local communities we serve," said Denis Gallagher, chairman and CEO of STI. "We want to recognize the service men and women within our STI family who exemplify commitment by their efforts to defend their country."
Recognitions will continue through the month of May and will be ongoing throughout the year at Student Transportation's locations across North America.
In addition to this initiative, and in honor of Memorial Day in the U.S., STI locations throughout the country will be recognizing those who have fallen and sacrificed their lives for their country.
