COMMIT conducted a Transition Mentoring Workshop in Washington, D.C. on February 11-12 hosted by Greenberg Traurig Law Firm. The workshop included 21 selected Fellows and 8 Mentors. This workshop also included our first event in conjunction with the Premier Lacrosse League. The group braved a winter weather advisory and 6-8” of snow to attend a lacrosse game in Springfield, VA. The workshop culminated in an alumni social hosted at GT Law on Feb 12th which brought together local alums to share a drink and a story with those Fellows attending the workshop. This was also the first workshop in which we gave the Fellows and Mentors our new COMMIT lapel pin. “Having participated in several veteran transition programs, I can confidently say that COMMIT stands in a league of its own. The experience was truly transformative and highly recommend for any vets navigating the next chapter.” - Bill Phillips, Navy CDR.

On February 13 Adrianne Huls, director of veteran services, shared information with 45 service members and their spouses transitioning from the Joint Special Operations Center at Fort Liberty. COMMIT Fellow Travis Grapes extended the invitation because as he shared, “COMMIT is getting it right!”
