On this Veterans Day, Williams honors all employees who serve or have served our country in the armed forces.
Williams values the experience, discipline and skill set that comes from serving in the military, said Paul Boyett, director, Talent Acquisition.

The skills and attributes that our veterans have honed through military experience continually benefit those who work with them, said Bud Rains, director, Construction Management, and sponsor of the Williams Veterans Business Resource Group. “Our veterans inspire Williams employees to do our jobs the right way and the best way every day.”
