LAS VEGAS, Nov. 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- AGS (NYSE:
AGS) or (the "Company") today announced that it was awarded a 2019
Gold Medallion Award through the U.S. Department of Labor's HIRE
Vets program for commitment and leadership in recruiting,
employing, and retaining U.S. military veterans.
AGS was the only gaming supplier recognized, one of only two
gaming companies to earn this recognition (the other was
Cosmopolitan Las Vegas) nationally, and one of only six companies
in Nevada to earn a medallion
through the HIRE Vets program, made possible through the Recruiting
and Employing American Military Veterans Act of 2017, the only
federal-level program that recognizes job creators who are
passionate and actively focused on recruiting, hiring, and
retaining America's veterans.
AGS President and Chief Executive Officer David Lopez, a U.S. Army veteran, said, "At AGS
we recognize that because of their backgrounds and experience,
veterans bring leadership, technical skills, and a spirit of
collaboration to our company and are valuable contributors to our
success. We have made a firm commitment to not only hire more
veterans, but to provide support and resources to our veteran
employees and their families so they can thrive at work and in
their communities. We're honored to receive the Gold Medallion
through HIRE Vets and are passionate about further bolstering our
veteran's initiatives."
AGS is also dedicated to honoring the U.S. military through a
variety of community outreach initiatives and support of local and
national veteran's organizations. Today the Company rolled out a
Veteran's Honor Wall at its corporate headquarters in Las Vegas to recognize and thank the women and
men on its team who have served and sacrificed.
