Sultan Camp) and related organizations - Team RWB, V3 (Virginia Values Veterans) - in the area and hit up SFL-TAP (Transition) programs on installations. It also helps to have a record in helping Veterans in some way.<br /><br />Where's a timeline on this?<br /><a target="_blank" href="https://transitionplaybook.org/app/uploads/2017/07/MVTP-Attendee-Flyer-1.pdf">https://transitionplaybook.org/app/uploads/2017/07/MVTP-Attendee-Flyer-1.pdf</a> <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-default">

I also like door prizes. A good promotion on networking with particular industries perhaps? More direct invitations to specific groups rather than blanket announcements people may ignore? Something that makes it worth my time.Response by SSG Private RallyPoint Member made Sep 6 at 2017 11:38 AM2017-09-06T11:38:14-04:002017-09-06T11:38:14-04:00LTC Eugene Chu2897564<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Notify the career offices at local military bases and leverage them to advertise the eventResponse by LTC Eugene Chu made Sep 6 at 2017 2:17 PM2017-09-06T14:17:44-04:002017-09-06T14:17:44-04:001stSgt Mack Housman2897761<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It never hurts to have food and beverages as were mentioned by several others. For someone truly interested in a successful transition from military to civilian life, I'd think they'd want to see quality employers available who are willing talk about current job opportunities, answer questions and take resume's. Otherwise, it's another NVA (no value added) function at a very busy time in your life.Response by 1stSgt Mack Housman made Sep 6 at 2017 3:43 PM2017-09-06T15:43:06-04:002017-09-06T15:43:06-04:00LtCol Robert Quinter2898563<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Include what organizations or career areas are normally present or were present at past events.Response by LtCol Robert Quinter made Sep 6 at 2017 9:30 PM2017-09-06T21:30:14-04:002017-09-06T21:30:14-04:00MSG Laura Washington2899205<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Ms. Rosa,<br />Coordinate with the Joint Services Support Network. Maybe they can list your events on their event schedule and help you promote the events during Yellow Ribbon Events, specifically for transitioning Reservist and National Guardsmen who may need additional assistance. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.jointservicessupport.org">http://www.jointservicessupport.org</a><br /><br />Also - network with the Wounded Warrior Project <a target="_blank" href="http://www.woundedwarriorproject.org">http://www.woundedwarriorproject.org</a> <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-default">
