Overview

Join our Veterans Roundtable group for an evening of conversation and networking that centers the experience and leadership capacity of military veterans. Learn how veterans and military spouses employed in finance can better take inventory of their strengths, preferences, and tolerances to make fulfilling long-term career decisions. 

This two-hour event will feature a keynote presentation, followed by a panel discussion where veterans will share practical examples drawn from their lived experience leveraging skills learned through military service to further successful careers in finance. Attendees will have ample opportunities to engage with speakers during a subsequent Q&A session.
