Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs reports:
OLYMPIA – The Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs (WDVA) Women Veterans Advisory Committee is asking women veterans to register today for the free "Celebrating Women Veterans Legacy of Service Summit", Saturday, September 12th from 7:30 am to 5:00 pm at the Greater Tacoma Convention and Trade Center, in Tacoma, WA.
"With more and more women in the military it is absolutely essential that we connect with them and help them access benefits and services they earned," WDVA Deputy Director Lourdes "Alfie" Alvarado-Ramos said. "All too often I meet women who don't think they're veterans for one reason or another. Our message is simple, if you served your country honorably, you are a veteran and we are here to serve you."
Topics to be covered include: Physical Health & Wellness; Financial skills; Careers & Networking; Employment; and Veterans Benefits. There is no registration fee; however, pre-registration is required. You can register by going to the website listed below and completing the on-line registration form.
This free conference will provide women veterans with comprehensive information regarding opportunities and challenges women veterans face today, information on benefits and services they might be entitled to the opportunity to renew old acquaintances and make new ones.
