American States Water Company’s Subsidiary Recognized as a 2021 Military Friendly® Company

American States Utility Services, Inc. (ASUS), a wholly owned subsidiary of American States Water Company (NYSE: AWR), has been awarded the Military Friendly® Company Bronze designation by VIQTORY. First published in 2003, the Military Friendly® program creates civilian opportunities for veterans. By setting a standard, promoting it and raising the bar over time, it provides long term, positive reinforcement for American organizations to invest in programs that improve the lives of veterans. It’s about creating demand for veterans in the private sector.

Employers receive the award for their efforts in creating sustainable and meaningful career paths, community outreach, brand enthusiasm, and enduring partnerships. Military Friendly® Companies are the ultimate example of organizations that are committed to creating sustainable economic benefit to the military community and all of the important parts of that community: the employee, the spouse, the family, the consumer, and even the supply chain.

ASUS will be published and celebrated in the March issue of GIJobs Magazine® in a special feature listing, as well as a company profile on MilitaryFriendly.com.

“Our support for the military community has been steadfast,” stated Robert J. Sprowls, President and CEO of American States Water Company. “Today, and every day, we are Serving Those Who Serve® and are grateful to our military service personnel, past and present, and the families and ecosystem that support them.”

In October 2020, ASUS was also awarded the Military Spouse Friendly® Employer designation, which identifies organizations whose commitment to serving the military and veteran community is comprehensive in scope and meaningful in terms of actual outcomes and impact. This includes hiring and career advancement to customer service and charitable involvement.
