“I am thrilled to organize the first-ever ‘Veterans in the Workplace’

“It is an honor to deliver a keynote address for a unique program that
includes fellow military veterans in the workforce,” Chamberlain said.
“As the CEO of the industry’s oldest service-disabled veteran-owned
business, it is always inspiring to work alongside corporations that
provide veterans with opportunities to leverage the skills acquired in
the course of their service and provide focused programs to help them
successfully transition to new careers.”

In addition to the keynote speakers, the luncheon will provide attendees
with a networking opportunity, and will highlight topics including
veteran-hiring retention and the different initiatives companies are
