West's facility in Kearney, NE has been awarded the 2018 Large Business Diversity Employment and Inclusion Award, presented by Nebraska Vocational Rehabilitation (VR). Nebraska VR is an employment program that helps people with disabilities prepare for, find and keep a job while helping businesses recruit, train and retain people with disabilities.
This award is given to businesses that have an active partnership with Nebraska VR, are advocates for disability employment and are progressive in creating inclusive workplaces.

West’s Mike Bursaw, HR manager at Kearney, is a member of the State Rehabilitative Council, and very active with the Nebraska VR organization. He participates in a variety of employer panels, speaks with VR counselors and case managers, and has hosted a variety of VR teams to educate on the importance of proper disability training.
