Nation’s Service-Employment-Redevelopment Network Invites All Its Program Participants, Sponsors, and Network of Affiliates to Pause for Peace and Goodwill

“SER National respects that this is the time of year when we each observe the profound beauty of our individual faith and freedoms,” said Ignacio Salazar, President & Chief Executive Officer. “Yet, in our hurried modern lives, pausing to gift ourselves the time to reflect is challenging. There are many meaningful truths worthy of our time this holiday season. Among them are our individual God-given talents and how we can share these with others,” says Salazar.

Across the United States, trends show distinct regional differences in aptitudes and skill sets. For over 60 years, SER National and the SER Network of Affiliates have celebrated the uniqueness of America’s workforce and tailored its programs to meet participants where they are.

“Today, America invites all persons to partake in the opportunity of self-improvement through education and training, not simply a privileged few,” says Salazar. Therefore, while some metrics may show other countries leading in digital performance, supply chain systems, or mobile development, the USA is the one place on earth where we each contribute to the larger whole without losing our individuality or the rewards of our personal striving. “I am honored to collaborate with a network of community-based organizations, the SER Network of Affiliates, dedicated and devoted to the power of life-changing transformation through training and workforce development. This is our greatest gift to share this holiday season, and we are blessed to do so with the full knowledge that our most significant rewards are still ahead,” says Salazar.
