Pennsylvania hosts the 1st Statewide Veteran's Expo -
What was missing? THE VETERANS!
HOWEVER, this was a great opportunity to meet with other individuals and companys that share in the passion for bringing the best opportunities and assistance to veteran service providers and organizations.
The National Alliance of Women Veteran's founder, Cathy Santos believes the benefit and necessity for future events was also shared by Chris Nelson, event coordinator. Chris agrees but stated that "you must talk to my boss". "And we will." Many organizations and corporations there were given the opportunity to speak on their organizations and share their concerns. Philadelpia Veteran's Multi-Service and Education Center was represented by Ed Lowery, Director; Sandy Miller and Marsha Four who also facilitates the "largest women veteran's shelter in the state". Coateville is the home of the Walker House where Marsha provides care and counseling to women veterans.
The Women Veteran's Health Care Center of Pittsburgh was represented by Desmarie J. DeCuir, PHD, CNRP who recently was appointed to the position of Program Director (pictured here with Ralph Davis and Leroy Saunders of Veteran's Affairs).
Also pictured is Mr. Peter Speaks who shared in a panel discussion with other government department leaders in the morning events. Amongst organizations represented were the Small Business Association from Washington, D.C., Harrisburg and Philadelphia, PA.
