October Newsletter | 2023

Greetings VTSC Participants!

VTSC is PROUD to support the upcoming Minority Veterans of America's Summit on Equity, Inclusion and Justice.

Join Minority Vets October 6-8, 2023, as they host the 2023 Equity, Inclusion and Justice Summit. The EIJ Summit is a three-day in-person experience like no other. The weekend will feature lectures, panels, fireside chats, lightning talks, live performances, and epic prizes. They will explore, in-depth, the experiences of minority veterans who’ve existed on the margins of the traditional veteran community and intersections with sexual violence, the reproductive health, housing and homelessness, public policy, and more. This year, the EIJ Summit will cover topics such as Our Stories, Our Truth: Recentering the Conversation About Veterans, Creating Systemic Change Through Public Policy, and so many more. The event is brought to you with the generous support of our sponsors - Comcast and REI. 

Not only will the Summit have education and resources, but registrants will also have exclusive access to a hiring and resource fair, where they can meet employers, find resources, and connect with community partners!

The next 15 people to sign up will get a free ticket.
