“Hey JC, the ‘I’ in COMMIT is too big—what are you doing?”

I was talking to Maria Hines, one of the spouses in our COMMIT Spouse Program, and she said something that really struck me:
“When I write COMMIT, I make the ‘I’ bigger to remind myself that I am committing to something.”

I loved that! And while we won’t be changing the logo anytime soon, I’m going to carry that with me every time I write COMMIT. Because she’s right—this isn’t just about what The COMMIT Foundation does; it’s about what every single participant in COMMIT is committing to.

When high-potential individuals and their families join COMMIT, they aren’t just participating in a program—they’re making a personal commitment.

I commit to transitioning with purpose.
I commit to leading with impact.
I commit to serving my community, not just in uniform but in every chapter of my life.

It’s about committing to becoming better leaders, stronger teammates, and inspiring futures for themselves and others. The “I” in COMMIT symbolizes that personal decision to show up, to thrive, and to lead others to do the same.

Join us in making that commitment!
