(APPLETON, WI) – CMD President Ricardo Abud met at CMD’s Technology Center with LeRoy Frahm, Ombudsman Director of the Wisconsin Chapterof Employer Support for the Guard and Reserve, and Tony Clementi, CMD’s Director of Human Resources to sign a statement of support for The Guard and Reserve.

“The statement of support fits very well with our beliefs and culture at CMD,” says Abud. “We are fortunate to have the honor to hire veterans and have many on our staff. We support all they do to protect our communities and welcome our employees back when they return from service.” He explains that recently the firm’s current Business Development Manager for CNG was deployed to Afghanistan, and that a plan was worked out to find temporary fill-ins while he was gone, but to welcome him back fully to his position when he returned more than a year later.

“We were thrilled when we were able to receive word from him while he was deployed and overjoyed when he returned. We are very proud of him and the service he has provided,” says Abud.

According to LeRoy Frahm, Ombudsman Director of Wisconsin Chapter of Employer Support for the Guard and Reserve, Supportive employers and supervisors are critical to maintaining the strength and readiness of our nation’s defense. “Nearly half of our nation’s defense is in the National Guard and Reserves today,” says Frahm. “By signing this Statement of Support, CMD Corporation joins other prominent employers in the Fox Cities, both large and small, recognizing and supporting our country’s service members,” says Frahm.
