MOBILIZING AMERICA WITH PaYS

Recruiting America's Army is not just the Army's mission, it belongs to America. The PaYS Program is one way to support the mission and Army/Army National Guard Soldiers and Cadets. To show your support to America's Army you can participate in one or more of the activities below.

• Identify current employees who have prior Army experience. These Veterans can talk to Future Soldiers and influencers about how the Army groomed them for success and helped them to become an asset to your organization.

• Attend Chamber of Commerce meetings and other community functions with the Army to discuss the attributes, traits and values Army Veterans bring to your organization.

• Coordinate with the Army and Army National Guard to bring educators and other centers of influence to tour your facility. Explain why the PaYS partnership is beneficial to your organization.

• Attend job fairs, career fairs and other community events with local Army Recruiting Battalion/ARNG Recruiting and Retention Battalion recruiters.

• Coordinate with the Army and Army National Guard to bring Future Soldiers and their influencers to tour your facility, explaining why you value Army Soldiers.
