June is Pride Month, and in DVVC's desire to be more diverse in its topics, more equitable in the time we give to issues, and more inclusive of the broad community of veterans, we are delivering a Town Hall entitled LGBTQ Issues in the Veteran Space: A Discussion with Subject Matter Experts on Wednesday, June 2 from 3-415 PM.
Keynote: Kristin Beck, known to be the first female Navy SEAL, distinguished herself in 20 years of exceptionally meritorious service with Special Operations Forces in the SEAL teams (including Seal Team Six), as adviser to SOCOM’s Science Director, and as a special liaison to Department of Defense Rapid Reaction Technology Office where she led many classified projects. While in the military she received numerous awards including a Bronze Star, a Purple Heart, and 27 other medals. She is the founder and President of Mindful Valor, a non-profit working with nontraditional methods to relieve trauma and is also a member of the Anti-Gun Violence Task Force among many other worthy causes.
