Bellevue, Wash. (February 2, 2010) — To kick off the new year, today Intelius – a leading information commerce company that empowers consumers and businesses with information to make intelligent decisions about personal safety and security –will sign a Statement of Support for the Employer Support of Guard and Reserve (ESGR). Naveen Jain, the founder and CEO of Intelius, will be joined today at 8:30 AM at the company’s headquarters in Bellevue by Admiral Bill Owens and ESGR representative Rick Dory to sign the official Statement.
“It’s important to support employees who serve our country. With this statement, Intelius pledges to go above and beyond to protect them, their families and their rights,” remarked Naveen Jain.
The ESGR Statement of Support denotes that Intelius recognizes, honors and enforces the Uniformed Services Employment and Re-Employment Rights Act (USERRA). The statement affirms Intelius’ support of service members and their families during training and deployment and acknowledges that Intelius managers and supervisors will be equipped with the tools they need to effectively manage those employees who serve in the Guard and Reserve.
“As American troops are deployed around the globe, they need to know they have support from those back home – and not just from their friends and family – but also from their employers, who will be there to help them transition when they return,” expressed Admiral Owens, Chairman of Intelius’ Board of Directors.
“Finding ways to honor and support those who serve and sacrifice for our country has always been a top priority for Intelius. We proudly stand by this statement and know that it will help us to make Intelius an even better place to work,” added Bill White, Intelius Board Member and President Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum & Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund.

ABOUT THE INTREPID SEA, AIR & SPACE MUSEUM
The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum is one of America’s leading historic, cultural and educational institutions. Opened in 1982, the Museum has welcomed more than 10 million visitors. The Museum is centered on the aircraft carrier Intrepid (CVS-11), one of the most successful ships in US history, and now a national historic landmark and one of the most unique attractions in New York City. In 1943, Intrepid was commissioned and served proudly in World War II. She went on to serve as one of the primary recovery vessels for NASA, three tours of duty off Vietnam, and submarine surveillance in the North Atlantic during the Cold War. Today she continues her service as a premiere educational center and a monument to all who have served our nation in uniform.
ABOUT INTREPID FALLEN HEROES FUND
The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund was formed in October 2000 to provide support for military personnel lost in performance of their duty. The activities of the Fund increased substantially in response to the beginning of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan following the tragic events of 9/11. In October 2003 the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund was established as its own 501(c) (3) not-for-profit organization.
