AAR named veteran-friendly company

This is the second consecutive year AAR has received this recognition. USVM polled hundreds of Fortune 1000 companies for this year’s Best of the Best evaluations. The award recognizes the top US companies actively recruiting and providing a rewarding work culture for veterans, transitioning service members, disabled veterans and military spouses.

Stronger because of veteran employees

“AAR is excited to be recognized again as a Top Veteran-Friendly Company,” said John Cooper, AAR SVP of Global Government and Defense. “Our veterans, who make up over 20 per cent of AAR’s US-based workforce, are such an important part of our success because they know our customers, understand the mission and generate winning solutions. AAR is so much stronger because of our veteran-employees, and we are proud to be called veteran-friendly.”

“We strive to encourage other companies to follow the lead and ultimately create a more diverse workforce,” added Mona Lisa Faris, USVM President and Publisher.

Last year, AAR’s Integrated Technologies division was awarded a firm-fixed-price contract from the US Air Force Life Cycle Management Center.
