Burlington, NJ – Just days before Veterans Day, Monica St Claire accepted the prestigious Seven Seals Award for US Offshore’s demonstrated and increasing commitment to the veteran community. The award reception was hosted by the USO Group companies at the historic Oneida Boat Club in Burlington, NJ, with industry partners, local and state stakeholders, friends, and family in attendance to celebrate this recognition.
“The Employer Support for the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) Seven Seals Award is presented to selected corporations and organizations that provide exceptional support to the military community,” says Mike Ferraro, Retired USAF & President of The Coffee Platoon & Bridging the Gap for Veterans 501C3. “US Offshore hires veterans, supports the Guard and Reserve Program, and leads from the front setting the example for all in operationalizing best hiring practices for the military community. It is an honor to present them the ESGR Seven Seals Award in 2024.”
Since its founding in 2020, US Offshore, the flagship company of the USO Group that specializes in nearshore and subsea cable services, has shown tireless commitment to the advancement of veterans in the marine service sector. Now, US Offshore stands alongside several companies in the USO Group that share and demonstrate the same dedication to engaging, hiring, and upskilling veterans while working to install, maintain, and protect critical infrastructure in the U.S. and across the globe.
“The Seven Seals Award is an overwhelming honor,” says St Claire. “We appreciate this recognition of our ongoing commitment to and belief in the veteran community. As well, it has been a high point in my career to accept the award on behalf of the incredibly skilled and determined USO Group team, most of whom are veterans.”
This award comes on the heels of Monica St Claire receiving the Rising Star Award from the New Jersey Manufacturing Extension Program (NJMEP) for her vision, leadership, and commitment to offshore wind and manufacturing in the state.
