THE NEXT MISSION

BECOME A FORCE MULTIPLIER.

Combat veterans and veterans bring experience that can strengthen a team, a workplace, and an entire community. The CVOA Leadership Summit is being developed as a place to turn that experience into greater capacity.

The vision is a large convention with keynote conversations, practical learning, and an exhibitor floor connecting veterans with employers, educators, and disability and benefits resources.

01 / FOCUS AREA

Leadership

Turn experience into practical leadership. Explore how to build teams, lead local initiatives, and strengthen the institutions veterans rely on.

02 / FOCUS AREA

Employment

Connect military experience with civilian opportunity. The proposed program brings together employers, workforce organizations, and conversations about the state of veteran employment.

03 / FOCUS AREA

Education

Explore education pathways, credentials, and skills that serve your next mission. Meet people who can help veterans navigate training and educational opportunities.

04 / FOCUS AREA

Disability & benefits

Build a clearer understanding of disability benefits and available support. Connect with resources and people who help veterans navigate their benefits and everyday needs.

A CONVENTION WITH A PURPOSE

LEAVE WITH MORE
THAN INFORMATION.

THE STAGE

Perspectives that move people.

Planned keynote speakers and discussions will examine veteran leadership, employment, education, and the opportunities ahead.

THE EXHIBITOR FLOOR

Connections you can use.

The proposed exhibitor floor will bring outside vendors and resource providers together so veterans can ask questions, compare opportunities, and build useful relationships.

BACK IN YOUR COMMUNITY

Bring the mission home.

The goal is practical: leave with clearer direction, stronger connections, and knowledge you can put to work where you live.

PLANNING IS UNDERWAY
