Women Veteran Mentoring Workshop
Three weeks ago today, I flew home from our workshop for women veterans in Palo Alto. The event was truly amazing. Palo Alto was the perfect place - the land of imagination, where failure is not encouraged but accepted and learned from as many entrepreneurs don’t succeed on their first start up. We are thankful for Mike Olson and his team at Cloudera for being such gracious hosts. This past Thursday night, I was so excited to receive and review the interviews that were conducted after the event. It was great to learn that not only are our veterans walking away from our events with a new focus and energy, our mentors are walking away with a better understanding of the veteran mindset and the tremendous talent being unleashed upon our Nation as our veterans come home. For those of you who know COMMIT, we run lean and mean. We focus on impact and quality. For those of you who enable us to achieve our mission, thank you. For those who are interested in supporting our cause, please reach out to us. Our next workshop is for transitioning SOF veterans. It will be held in Dallas in March 2013.
