We have planned an informative and inspiring program that will give women veterans an opportunity to engage in real dialogue about the many challenges and rewards they experienced during their tour of military duty.

The event will feature two dynamic guest speakers:

Expert panelists will address the following areas: healthcare, employment, mental health, education, homelessness, housing and VA benefits.  There also will be a Resource Fair featuring a wealth of information about resources, services and opportunities for military women, veterans and their families.
