Join Forces: ‘Can YOUR Corporate Citizenship Better Support Military Families?’

Support for military families is vital to sustaining America’s all-volunteer force, a strong national defense, and healthy business environment.

In this session hosted by USAA, attendees heard:

• How to transform military support from annual events into strategic year-round initiatives
• Ways to leverage cross-sector partnerships that amplify impact while sharing costs
• Methods for measuring and communicating program ROI to key stakeholders
