Please join us for "A Community Conversation"
Members of the military and their families have made tremendous sacrifices for our country. This event will provide us with an opportunity to engage in meaningful dialogue about how communities can support them as they face challenges in reintegration. A portion of the morning's agenda will be dedicated to small group discussions that will help community members gain a better understanding of military culture and experiences.
Who should attend? Veterans and family members should participate to help raise awareness about some of the challenges experienced by members of the military, as well as the benefits of a military experience. Local business owners, members of the clergy, educators and service providers should attend to learn more about how they can support the service men and women who have given so much for our freedom and our safety.
