DAV (Disabled American Veterans) has presented Paramount Veterans
Network, a division of the global media and entertainment company
Paramount, with its 2024 DAV Patriot Employer Special Recognition
Award for Excellence in Community Support. The national award
recognizes the company’s commitment to honoring the sacrifices and
contributions of our nation’s veterans.
Paramount Veterans Network works with Paramount
properties—including CBS Television Network, Paramount Pictures and
Showtime—to ensure the military and veteran communities are
accurately and respectfully portrayed in media. The network also
works closely with local affiliate stations to air thousands of
public service announcements that highlight issues affecting
active-duty service members, veterans and their families.
Through its Veteran Immersion Program, Paramount Veterans
Network also provides veterans with mentoring and career counseling
as they transition from military service. Understanding the
indispensable skills veterans bring to the workplace, the network
helps usher veterans through Paramount Global’s talent pipeline,
connecting them with meaningful employment and life-changing
opportunities.
The network’s other efforts include free legal assistance for
veterans and their families and an initiative to increase the
participation of veteran-owned businesses in the Paramount Global
Supplier Diversity Program.
“Paramount Veterans Network is serving veterans in numerous and
creative ways that honor veterans, prepare those who served for
success and increase public understanding of military service,”
said DAV National Commander Nancy Espinosa. “They serve as models
for employers across industries, all of which can benefit from the
unique value and experience veterans bring to the workforce. DAV is
immensely grateful for Paramount Veterans Network’s efforts, and we
are proud to present this much-deserved award.”
