[Richmond, VA] – [October 3, 2024] – ISI Professional Services is proud to announce that it has been awarded the prestigious 2024 V3 Influencer Award, presented by the Virginia Values Veterans (V3) Program. This accolade recognizes ISI’s exceptional efforts in creating the best strategy for the recruitment, hiring, retention, and comprehensive support of Veterans. The award celebrates ISI’s dedication to enhancing the lives and careers of Veterans, a commitment driven by its internal Veteran community initiative, the Veteran Impact Program (VIP).

“This award is a testament to the hard work of our team and the strength of the Veteran community at ISI,” said Robert Mooney, co-leader of the VIP and Army Veteran. “We are committed to ensuring that Veterans find a home here, where their skills, experiences, and values are celebrated and utilized to their fullest potential.”

ISI’s President & CEO, Chris Lefebvre, a Marine veteran, expressed his gratitude for the recognition. “As a Marine Veteran, this award is especially meaningful to me,” said Lefebvre. “Our goal at ISI is not just to hire Veterans but to truly invest in their long-term success. The Veteran Impact Program is a vital part of our mission to serve those who have served us, and I’m incredibly proud of the team’s efforts in making this vision a reality.”

Chris Lefebvre also extended his thanks to Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin for personally presenting the award, saying, “We are deeply honored to receive this recognition from Governor Youngkin and the V3 Program. His commitment to the success of Veterans across Virginia has been inspiring, and we look forward to continuing our shared mission of supporting Veterans in every way we can.”

The VIP, spearheaded by Veterans Robert Mooney and Jon Ackiss, plays a pivotal role in shaping ISI’s veteran-focused strategies. ISI is dedicated to Veteran advocacy, leveraging its status as a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) to empower Veterans and their families.

ISI’s Veteran Impact Program focuses on several key pillars:

– Maximizing the Veteran Workforce by recruiting and retaining top Veteran talent.

– Pursuing Veteran’s Purpose through purposeful career development and support.

– Engaging with Confidence by providing Veterans with opportunities to lead and succeed.

– Encouraging Imagination by enabling service members and Veterans to redefine what is possible for their futures.

– Creating a “Team within a Team” Concept that fosters camaraderie and mutual support among Veterans.

In addition to its internal programs, ISI works closely with community organizations, such as Disabled American Veterans (DAV) and Hiring Our Heroes, to further support Veterans through charitable efforts, volunteer opportunities, and hiring. These partnerships reinforce ISI’s ongoing mission to be a destination of choice for Veterans seeking meaningful, impactful employment.

“Our goal is to not only employ Veterans but also to equip them for long-term success,” said Jon Ackiss, co-leader of the VIP and Army Veteran. “This award reflects our unwavering commitment to Veterans and their families, ensuring they thrive both in and outside of the workplace.”
