Support for members of the National Guard and Reserves
Military spouse/family support
“As a U.S. Army Veteran and employee of American Water it is a true testament to the company’s dedication and effort in building a diverse workforce that is military friendly,” said Manuel Cifuentes Jr., Senior Principal Regulatory Analyst, and leader of the American Water military Employee Business Resource Group – Strength Through Service. “Being recognized by VETS Index is proof of the company’s commitment to safety, teamwork, and to seeking out those that had served who share the same values.”
Additionally, American Water earned the 2024 Military Friendly® Gold Employer designation for its industry-leading efforts on hiring and supporting our nation’s military veterans.
