Lake
Mead’s Callville Bay Resort & Marina Honored
for
Hiring Unemployed Veterans by U.S. Veterans Initiative
||
Lake
Mead National Recreation Area, NV – September 2016 / Newsmaker Alert /
In recognition for its efforts and dedication in serving those who
served, Callville Bay Resort &
Marina, located in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area and managed
by Forever Resorts, has been
named Partner of the Year for 2016 by the U.S.
Veterans Initiative Workforce Department. The award was conferred during
an August ceremony at Texas Station.

Callville
Bay worked directly with U.S. Veterans Initiative to hire seven employees
in the spring of 2016 for the summer season. The employees were given a
variety of jobs, including land shuttle, porter/dockhand, cook, land maintenance
crew, mechanic and houseboat maintenance crew. Cottonwood
Cove Resort & Marina on Lake Mohave, also part of the Lake Mead
National Recreation Area, hired two employees through the program. Both
Callville Bay and Cottonwood Cove are operated and managed by National
Park Service concessioner Forever Resorts.
“When
we found out about this program, we immediately knew we had jobs that could
be filled by these honorable citizens,” explained Rod Taylor, regional
vice president, Forever Resorts. “We couldn’t sign up fast enough. Right
now, we’re already planning on expanding the program, creating training
programs to meet the needs of veterans in need of work and hiring more!”
