 Hire America's Heroes Symposium 2012
Hiring Military Job Seekers
The Hire America's Heroes 2012 Symposium: Making the Business Case for Hiring Military Job Seekers was sponsored by State Farm Insurance at Naval Station Everett. Attendees were by special invitation and CAMPS executive staff were some of those fortunate to attend. In addition to leaders from all military services, the offices of Senator Murray, Senator Cantwell, Congressman Norm Dicks, Congressman Adam Smith and Congressman Dave Reichert attended as did "First Mike" Gregoire.
Participants were treated to a video greeting from First Lady Michelle Obama. Presentations on the value of veteran candidates and on military candidate hiring were delivered by JD Trueblood, State Farm Insurance; Stephanie Cootsona, Alaska Airlines; and CAPT Steven D. Vincent, United States Navy. Panel discussions on Military Employment and on Hire America's Heroes' Mentoring and Job Shadow Programs were among the event's highlights. Symposium attendees also had the opportunity to experience a Reverse Career Fair, where Navy personnel introduced them to the professional skills and values that have developed through military service.
