Chief Master Sgt. Michael Brady was selected as the Human Resource Advisor of the Year for 2007 during the national Human Resource Advisor Conference for the Air National Guard, held in October 2008 at McGhee Tyson ANG Base, Knoxville, Tenn.Brady has served as state Human Re-source Advisor for the Rhode Island Air Na-tional Guard (RIANG) since June 2006 and said he was humbled by the announcement of his selection. “All of Rhode Island shares this with me, as well as my fellow Human Resource Advi-sors across the country,” Brady said. “I cer-tainly could not have done this alone. [HRA] is a unique and awesome position in the Air National Guard. I thank all of you that have given me a chance to grow in this position.”Brady is directly responsible to the As-sistant Adjutant General for Air, and advises command leadership on all matters relating to diversity, mentoring, force management and force development. Brady displays a genuine eagerness to learn from others and continually pursues methods to improve his programs to better meet the needs of his customers. His top pri-orities since taking on his job as HRA have included leadership and team building train-ing and the Air National Guard Mentoring Program. He is especially thrilled about the Diver-sity Champions class, a program that has been ongoing in the ANG HRA community for about two years and made available re-cently to the RIANG. “It is the best class I’ve had in 20 years,” says Brady.A new initiative for Brady this year is the formation of an HRAadvisory team for mem-bers of the RIANG. “It’s open to anybody who wants to play,” he says. The idea is to have a variety of input from many individuals to help develop HRA initiatives and programs.“I have been able to share and communi-cate,” Brady adds about his role in HRA. “It’s not that I have dreamed up anything great, but we got to stay connected. As much as I have shared, I’ve gotten back more.”By Tech. Sgt.

From cousin Paul Brady:
Hopefully you don’t find this to presumptuous on my part, but would appreciate your votes, if you get a minute …. Been quite a month, on the first they told me, I’m going to be grandpa of twins, then this award for Will ….
Lets spread this around …… damm right I’m proud of this boy !!! .. what a son-in-law .. PFB
From Amy Brady Groulx
For those of you sports enthusiasts- you well know that today the Nominees for the ESPY awards was announced. For those that are clueless, check out ESPN for the details ( basically it is a group of 30+ categories of athletes/moments/etc that individuals are nominated for extraordinary sports contribution, to win a fairly prestigous award in a televised event). What you might not know........our very own WILL GROULX of USA Rugby has been nominated in the Disabled Male Athlete Category- for his outstanding performance at the 2008 Paralympic Games. This is HUGE!!!! Such an incredible honor and a great timing as he is still struggling his way back after rotator cuff surgery- fingers crossed all is well and he should get back to 100% by fall- so this is a defnite boost that he needs.
That being said- we need everyone's help..... The award is based on fan voting, which means all of you, and everyone you might possibly know. I am counting on your networking skills and use of facebook and twitter to get Will's name out there and to vote for him. I can think of no better person to deserve this award- for so many reasons- of course I don't need to explain to any of you, you know he is extraordinary. I am so proud of him, can you tell?? It also is a huge nod to wheelchair sports and particularly rugby- which is by far the coolest of the bunch!!! The more exposure the world gets, the better!!!!
So, this is the scoop- voting is open through the second week of July. You can vote only once. You must sign up for a free ESPN account in order to vote- just need a user name and password. The direct link for voting is www.ESPYS.tv. I don't believe it is limited to the USA, so send this to all your pals round the world. You might also pass on the link to www.quadrugby.com, which can link them to all the scoop on the sport and Will and prob. to the games online from Beijing.
At this moment- do not be alarmed when you get on to vote- they have posted the wrong photo- so Will appears as a barrel chested white boy from Australia (aka Riley Batt, also a sweet rugby player). When you click on it his name pops up, so be assured it is the slim Korean guy that you are voting for. And, if you have a moment email the webmaster about it, I did it earlier today and hoped for a quick response- 12 hours later, still a large white guy... I just want fair representation, ya know.
And anyone real savvy with Facebook?? I need help to put something together on there to send out- just not sure the best way to go about it, any help is appreciated.
I am so excited, and thought all of you would be too- and we thank you in advance for your help in this endeavour. Another once in a lifetime event, I think.
Cheers, Amy G. ( and babies two) on behalf of Will
