Burlington, VT - NRG Systems of Hinesburg, VT, and owners David and Jan Blittersdorf, were just awarded "Employer of the Year" by the Burlington Business and Professional Women Association (BPW) at its annual meeting this October.

NRG Systems, Inc., manufactures wind assessment systems for electrical power generation. The company, founded by Dave and Jan Blittersdorf in 1982, currently employs 30 people and is regarded as a world leader in the wind energy industry.

The Burlington Business and Professional Women Association, a national organization promoting the interests and advocacy of women in business, applauded NRG Systems, Inc., for providing employees with generous benefits and pension programs, as well as ongoing training and education for continual employee improvement. In addition to traditional workplace quality issues, the 50 year-old professional women's organization looks for businesses that are flexible to the needs of working women with families, including cafeteria plan medical insurance, profit sharing, 401K/retirement plans, parental and family leave and childcare programs.

"We are very proud of this award," said Jan Blittersdorf, vice-president and CFO of the company, "as it touches us at the heart of what makes our company so successful - our employees." The manufacturer of wind energy measuring equipment has experienced 30-40% growth in the last several years and has put tremendous effort in employee training and retention. "We strive to have a harmonious working climate where employees are respected as individuals with lives and families outside of the job." Blittersdorf continued. "And we understand that to have dedicated, well-trained people on our staff, we need to be flexible to their needs and schedules, especially when it comes to kids."

David and Jan Blittersdorf reside in Charlotte. More information on NRG Systems, Inc., and its business policies, is available at its website at www.nrgsystems.com or by telephone at (802) 482-2255.
