Charting impact

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

To achieve a thriving, sustainable, and widely recognized Veteran Scholarship Program and veteran services.

To achieve our goals, we aim to focus on organizing and sustaining membership and energizing their talents to support Veterans Success Programs through our collective efforts to Teach, Coach, Mentor, and Lead while developing our own networking, collaboration, and life-long partnerships.

Our strength is in our career long bond in the brotherhood as members of both the profession or arms and of law.

While the organization is slowly developing and refining its social purpose, it is aligning its long-term strategic vision and working hard to garner widespread participation among its professional members. To this end, membership has reached over one hundred members (from an exceedingly small pool of professionals that meet its criteria) and raised tens of thousands of dollars since its inception to support veterans in need is nothing to be ashamed of. Last year, since refining our purpose, we were awarded two $1000 scholarships in 2020.
