Service and Civic Leadership
In 2003, President George W. Bush formed the President’s
Council on Service and Civic Participation to provide guidance
in expanding a culture of service in America. As a result of The
Home Depot’s civic leadership, President Bush appointed
Chairman Bob Nardelli to serve on this 24-member council.

their pay and benefits while they are away. We also initiated Project Homefront in

military families. For our efforts, we are honored to have received the Homefront
Award, which is given by Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) to
employers for exceptional support of U.S. troops.
