The summit, scheduled from December 13-16, will be jointly organized by Tenstreet, Fastport, Hiring Our Heroes, TransForce, Troops into Transportation, and the American Trucking Associations (ATA). The venue for the event will be the ATA headquarters in Washington, D.C.
“The event allows organizations to learn the best practices and strategies for hiring and keeping military veterans,” stated a news release. “Sessions led by transportation industry leaders, military hiring experts, and military veterans like the Medal of Honor Recipient and hiring Our Heroes Ambassador Clint Romesha. Romesha will share their insights on how a company can create a culture of veteran support in the workplace. At this year’s summit, 30 of the attendees will have the opportunity to register for an in-depth and hands-on workshop led by PsychArmor Institute. They will also receive specialized training on each phase of veteran employment practices, earning them a certificate and added credentials.”
