Military Resource & Employment Symposium
Preregistration for the event is now closed. Current and former military families are welcome to join us as preregistration is not required to attend.
As an increasing number of service men and women separate and transition out of the military, there becomes a greater need for employment and supportive resources for veterans and their families…
The purpose of the Military Resource & Employment Symposium is to assist current members of the Armed Services, Veterans, and their spouses with information critical to:
- Gaining civilian employment
- Achieving family resiliency and financial stability
- Successfully transitioning from military to civilian life
The one-day symposium will feature four 30 minute keynote speaker sessions that will each take place twice throughout the day during both a morning and afternoon session, offering ample opportunity for military families to attend any session(s) of their choice. Door prize drawings will take place following each speaker session.
