Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Our major goals include:
- Continued development of six community regions providing support to the military community through locally based chapters via social connectivity, professional development and community service.
- Develop training program for volunteer leadership and key staff and encourage culture of mentorship.
- Increasing new unique interactions in social connectivity programs to over 250,000 annually.

Our strategy for accomplishing our goals rests in relationship building with key military personnel and corporate partners. Further, we successfully recognize the regional and local differences between chapters and demographic areas.

While our hyper growing demand for programs and services poses a challenge, our partner base continues increase to meet needs.
