Dupage Policy Journal

The Village of Schaumburg was honored to receive the Above and Beyond Award from the Illinois Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR). The award is presented by ESGR state committees to recognize employers at the local level who have gone above and beyond the legal requirements of the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act by providing their Guard and Reserve employees additional, non-mandated benefits. The village was nominated for this award by Bill Sadlick, the village's IT Network Administrator and a Chief Warrant Officer for the Army National Guard.

The village is grateful and proud of our employees who are active in the Guard and Reserve as well as our military veterans.
